Aaron goes to the dentist

Today was Aaron's first visit to the dentist. Zachary went to the dentist too, but he's an old pro at this by now. Zack went first to 'show' Aaron how its done. I was really impressed with Zack. He sat in the dentist chair and as soon as the hygentist reclined the chair he propped his mouth open nice and big!! The last time Zack went to the dentist (his first time) he had 4 cavities!!!! He was sent to a pediatric specialist for the fillings. I learned today that the specialist only filled 3 of the 4 cavities. The dentist was asking me why they only filled 3 of them. I had no idea. I thought they were all done. So Zack has no NEW cavities, but the last one still needs to be filled.
The fact that Zack had 4 cavities led me to schedule Aaron an appointment with the dentist. The pediatrician said kids don't need to go until age 3, but given Zack's record, I wanted to get Aaron in earlier.

When it came to Aaron's turn, he climbed right up on the chair. The hygentist played around with him a little, let him touch and play with the tool and he seemed ok. He looked like someone who's been going to the dentist for a long time...a little tense, stoic and unsure of what the dr. would say!

Aaron opened his mouth when the hygentist (named Eren) asked, but he kept closing and biting down on the instruments as soon as she put them in his mouth. She was able to clean the front teeth, then Aaron had enough and climbed out of the chair. She said for a 1 yr old he did great!!
Aaron wasnt as cooperative for the dentist, he giggled and grinned at him, but wouldn't open up.

So we left with new Diego toothbrushes, spongebob toothpaste and stickers. The boys were as happy as could be then! We'll see how it goes in 6 months!!
