Well, Luke was wary at first, as is his norm. But the staff was so friendly and obviously used to dealing with nervous kids, that he warmed up right away. He climbed up on the table like a pro and loved watching the TV on the ceiling. And his favorite thing of all, surprisingly, was wearing the kid-sized sunglasses while they had the bright lights on him...He was offered about 6 choices of toothpaste flavors and true to his father, he picked cookie dough. (Bleech!) But he loved it and stayed perfectly still the entire time. Even let Ms. Amy, the hygienist, floss his teeth, use that little hook-pick thing and do a paint-on flouride treatment. Dr Hansen came in and was wonderful with Luke. He let Luke help count his own teeth and spell out the dentist's name from his name tag (you know how Luke is about numbers and letters.) Then he checked out Luke and gave us the all-clear. No cavities!! He also checked out Henry's two little teeth. Luke was very friendly and shook the dentist's hand on the way out.
He loved the little "water squirter" and the "sucking straw" that cleaned out his mouth--asked for more water a million times!
