Xander had his first ever dentist visit today, and boy was he nervous. This morning he was concerned that the dentist would want to pull out his loose tooth. I had to reassure him several times that the only thing happening today would be a cleaning.
Of course, everything went just fine! Xander went to Dr. Aives, who is new to the area, and he was very nice. He cleaned Xander's teeth and put on some fluoride. Then he had some x-rays taken just to have a baseline. Xander did everything they asked him to without a single problem. Most importantly, the dentist let me take some pictures after he was all done!
Xander was very proud of himself for being brave. Dr. Aives said he had perfect teeth, no cavities. He's right on track with tooth growth and all that. Yay! And Xander got a SpongeBob toothbrush and toothpaste to take home with him. I'm so glad that Xander had such a positive first experience! Hopefully that will make all his future visits go nice and smooth.

Good for him! He should have a positive impression since he's going to be going to the dentist for the rest of his life. Sounds like you got a good one, too. Ah, another mile stone! Hang in there, Mama! Love ya, M.
