An Apple A Day keeps the Dentist away....

Wednesday was our trip to the Dentist day. Bennett and Bria have never been before...and Avery, well, lets just say that she is an old pro.

Avery is not at all nervous about the dentist, which is amazing considering she has had four crowns and 3 cavaties filled in her short 4 years of life. She was born with a condition called hypoplasia. In layman's terms: she was born without enamel on her teeth. Her teeth are unusually soft and therefore she is very prone to getting cavaties.

It was so sweet to watch her "volunteer" to go first so that B&B could watch all the action before it was their turn. She loved the shades and picked out her own Snow White tooth brush.

The Dentist commented on her beautiful silver teeth, exclaiming how cool it is that she has jewelry on her teeth. She checked out well and doesn't need another checkup for the standard 6 months.

This guy was my most skeptical of the process. He gripped my hand very tightly and almost threw a fit about getting into the chair. When he heard the hygenist ask if he likes the movie "Cars" (his favorite movie on the face of the earth...KACHOW!) he immediately sat down to choose between Chick Hicks, Lightening McQueen and Sally...Of course he chose Lightening McQueen and was all smiles from there on out.

Breezy was excited to pick Snow White as well, but got even more excited when we told her to pick something different than Avery and she saw Belle! She was ooohing and aaaahhhhing over her brand new very own tooth brush...with Belle on it.

She liked to "kiss" the suction and wear those shades. The Dentist commented on her beautiful shiny teeth and how she checked out perfectly as well...Whew! No follow up appt.'s once again.

Avery stood by Bennett to watch all of the action. He did very good and chose the Banana flavor flouride. He too enjoyed kissing the suction. He thought it was especially funny when the hygenist squirted water from her hose across the room.

The Dentist had some bad news for us while checking out his teeth. He has a cavity :( It is a surface one though, so he will not need novicane thank goodness. He grinds he teeth and clenches them so he has very deep grooves which make the perfect little hiding spots for germs and bacteria.

All in all the visit went great. We had no major fears and the twins think that the dentist is awesome. They cannot wait to go back to pick out their prizes. Let's hope they always feel this way :)
