Trip to the Dentist

Ok, so I know Stephen should have gone to the dentist long ago...maybe even a full year ago if not a year and a half ago. But hey, we finally did it! I made the appointment yesterday morning, and to my surprise they had an opening at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Stephen was so excited! He brushed his teeth each time he had a drink of water, or ate anything. (He really wanted to be ready to go when I said it was time.)

This guy did great! You would have thought walking out of there that we had just been to the park. He was even talking to a stranger in the elevator about how much fun he had at the dentist. (The poor guy had just had a tooth pulled, and said that he didn't have so much fun at the dentist.) Stephen can't wait to go to the dentist again... unfortunately it will be too soon for me. He didn't exactly have any cavities...but he needs some developmental things worked on. His molars on the top back for some reason didn't finish developing. The enamel didn't get hard, and discolored. They said this won't effect his permanent teeth...but they need to do some work so he wont get cavities in them so easily.

Skyler wants to go to the dentist now...I hope when that time comes, he is a little better at opening his mouth without biting fingers. (That is what happens to me when I floss his teeth.)

How fun! We love the dentist too but I think it is because Owen has any cavities yet. If he only knew. :)

Don't feel bad, I was much later taking Nathan to the dentist. He and Sarah loved it, mostly because of the prizes they were given. Bummer you have to go back so soon!
