Lily had her first dental checkup today. She did a great job overall, although she didn't like the hygienist's cleaning tool. She let her look at her teeth and brush them with a regular toothbrush, and she rinsed with the water and suction tube. I think we could have coaxed her into opening up for a full cleaning, but we wanted to keep her first dental visit as pleasant as possible so we didn't pressure her. The hygienist was very nice, and really great with Lily. She gave Lily a spinbrush toothbrush to use at home sometimes, so she can get used to the noise and feel more comfortable with having her teeth cleaned at the dentist's office next time. Next, Lily met her dentist, Dr. Caldwell, for the first time. She was a little apprehensive, but she did let him examine her teeth. He was really nice too, and Lily got a good report - healthy, clean teeth!
We had a great experience for Lily's first dental checkup!
