First Dentist Visit

Vince has had most of his teeth for quite some time now. He got his choppers pretty early, and we've worked hard to try and keep them clean and help him develop good habits with cleaning his teeth. So I decided to organize his first dental visit, which turned out to be quite an outing and tons of fun for him. This Dentist office was like a circus! Toys everywhere, fish tanks.. tons of attractions for toddlers. The dental hygienist won Vince over with loads of stickers and puppets to show how to brush teeth properly. We got pics of Vince brushing a doggy puppet's nice straight teeth with this gigantic tooth brush!

Although Vince didn't let them do much more than just look in his mouth (they found plaque build up already!), they gave me some good tips on cleaning his teeth, making sure to floss, and gave us a whole goodie bag of flossing tools/tooth brushes/tooth paste.. and so on. We also found out our town doesn't have fluoride in it's water... so we are giving him fluoride pills now. Check your town to make sure there's fluoride in the water!!
