Jacy's First Dentist Appointment

I took off a half-day from work to make the trip to the dentist. Jacy finally has learned to brush her teeth and spit- so I assumed she was ready for the dentist. I know everything says to start at age 2- but I am pretty sure when Jacy was 2 she would have thrown crazy fits, so I went with my better judgement and waited.

We hyped her up the night before and on the way to the dentist. Mommy #2 (Avery) continued to talk about how cool the dentist was. Avery went first to show Jacy how it works and Jacy sat and watched. The dental hygienist that cleans our teeth is SUPER nice and great with kids. She just brags on them and shows them how to use their toothbrush, etc.

Jacy climbed right up in the chair when it was her turn and did an excellent job. She smiled, she talked- she was just awesome! It is hard to explain how incredibly proud I was of her and Avery. We spent two hours total between all 3 of us having our teeth cleaned, x-rays, etc and not once did either of them get in trouble!

Way to go girls!!!

  1. Great job girls! Jacy looks so proud! I remember being so sure that both JJ and Luke would be awful when they first went to the dentist...and I was wrong-they did great too. We underestimated them!!!

  2. Bring your kids to the dentist whenever you feel like they're ready. The first dental appointment knows no age; what's important is that the first tooth has erupted. I'm glad to hear that everything turned out great for the three of you. Congrats, Stacy!
