The boy took TLM to her very first visit to the dental nurse today. Apparently she was a model patient - sat in the chair, opened her mouth wide and let the nurse tinker around in there with her instruments of torture.
And TLM was given a badge of clean health - a big sticker that says "I have healthy teeth".
No candy?
ReplyDeleteI always thought dentists were the most ironic people in the world giving out lollys after looking at children's teeth.
nope. I guess dental professional are a little more enlightened these days. I can remember accompanying my mum to her dental appointments. She didn't get a lolly from the dentist afterwards, but she used to buy herself chewy toffees. What foolishness!
ReplyDeleteI used to love going to the dentist cause the dental nurse would make us a little toy out of dental products (like a buzzy bee or a ghost etc). And it was cool to be able to collect the whole set. In hindsight I wonder where she learned how to make them....
ReplyDeleteYeah I remember those! Maybe there's a class in it at dental nursing school.
ReplyDeleteLittle Mo was awesome.
ReplyDeleteShe only got skitish when the chair started moveing around. Nothing a good hand hold from Dad couldnt cure.
Yay for health teeth!
