Visit to the Dentist

Can you tell Rylie did not want to be there?
Trying to escape
The torture is over, now for the "good patient" baggy.
Connor is a pro at the dentist office!
***********
Let me just start by saying that I have terrible teeth. Yes, they are straight and I brush them a whole bunch. However, I think think the dentist is running out of places to fill cavities and I've had 4 or 5 root canals. Mike, on the other hand, has perfectly healthy teeth! Only 2 or 3 cavities to his name. So, I promised myself that when we had kids that we would do EVERYTHING in our power to help their teeth stay healthy. So, from the time they were 2 we've started taking them to the dentist every 6 months. So, Connor has been at least 6 times and is totally used to it and is very brave. The dentist says he has very, very strong teeth. Must've got it from Mike. Connor used a binky for quite a while and we worried about an overbite, etc. It has straightened out quite well. Rylie had her first dentist appointment. She freaked out, as expected! She was scared to death! Her teeth checked out well and look great, except for the fact that she STILL has a binky but, it's almost gone! So, I hope they continue to have healthy teeth because I don't want them to go through what I have.

I hear that! I have the WORST teeth ever! Poor Rylie! I must say I'm a little apprehensive about taking Maya to the denist bc of this. But if her teeth are anything like mine (I'm praying they aren't) it's a MUST!
