Pearly Whites

Emerson had her first visit to the dentist and got a perfect report!  I was very anxious to see how she was going to do but as always she did amazing.  When we first went back she was a little unsure about laying on the chair to have her teeth cleaned.  She would lay down stiff as a board and as soon as they showed her something they were going to use she would pop back up again.  She really liked the hot pink sunglasses she got to put on so we started making some progress there.  I then moved from the stool I was sitting on to sit right at her feet and she finally relaxed a little bit.  The hygienist said that she could not believe that Emerson actually let her clean her teeth saying that very few 3 year olds would do that.  Dr. Andersen said that her teeth looked really good but could tell without even having to ask that she likes to suck her thumb!  He said that there is no harm done at this point but if she continues to around the time she is 5 he will intervene!  When he finished taking a look they took their picture together then it was off to the treasure chest to pick her prize!  Such a big girl!
