Today was Evan's first trip to the dentist and all went well! A few weeks ago we toured the local pediatric dentists so that Evan could tell me if there were any that he absolutely did not like (which he did for one of the schools we toured). He ended up liking all of them, so I went with the one that is closest to us and also recommended by our pediatrician. I'm very happy with our choice! We saw Dr. Aka with Plateau Dentistry for Children. The technician was great in explaining everything to Evan and letting him know what she was doing (and she was fast when she needed to be!) I think some of his favorite things were squirting water, having "Mr. Thirsty" suck out water from his mouth, and "painting" fluoride on his teeth. He was less keen on "Mr. Tickles," but we were able to get through his whole mouth anyway. I am pleasantly surprised that they were able to do everything they needed to do and without any crying, screaming or tears from Evan. After leaving the dentist, Evan was very enthusiastic about how much fun he had there, the cool ninja toy prize he earned and going back in October. Yay!
