Hannah's Visit to the Dentist

Hannah had an appointment with the Dentist this morning. She did really well! Getting there was a bit tough... Hannah wanted to wear her Dora pajamas to the dentist and of course I said no. So she had a huge meltdown and was refusing to go to the dentist if she couldn't wear her 'jammies'. I managed to convince her to get dressed by letting her send Christy some dancing characters on MSN... thanks for sending Hannah some back Christy, it got her to forget about the Dora pajamas!

Dr. Rai was really good with Hannah... he checked all of her teeth and gave her a talking to about sucking her thumb (the same talking to that he gave me when I was Hannah's age!). She is starting to develop a bit of an overbite from all her thumb sucking! He told her that she is going to have 'yucky teeth' if she doesn't stop.... hopefully someone other than Dave and I telling her to stop will work!

The dental assistant, Debbie, was great with Hannah. She let Hannah ride up and down on the chair, watch cartoons with the head phones on and use some of the dental equipment. She filled up a cup with water and let Hannah use 'Mr. Thirsty' (the straw suction) to suck all the water out of the cup. Hannah really liked that! Afterwards Hannah laid back on the chair and let Debbie clean her teeth using all the equipment that she had showed her. Hannah was really good the whole time... I was shocked. Maybe Debbie and 'Mr. Thirsty' can come and live with us since Hannah likes to behave so well for them :)

Debbie took Hannah's picture to post on the 'No Cavity Club' wall. Then Hannah got a new Disney toothbrush and she got to pick a toy out of the drawer... she chose a Cinderella sticker instead of a toy and she was so excited that she ran all the way out to the waiting room to show Buggy and Victoria :)
