Chasey's First Dentist Appointment...

We have a great pediatric dental office here in Castle Rock. Before starting the cleaning the hygenist took time to explain all of the tools to Chasey...

He loved helping clean the dragon's teeth...

But his favorite part was when she sprayed her "squirt gun" on the window. He kept asking her to do that again. Such a boy!

But he thought it was SO funny!

At first he wasn't so sure about this...

...but he got comfortable and settled in for a good cleaning.

The good news is that his teeth were nice and clean. The bad news is his paci (which he only has at bed and nap time now) is effecting his teeth. His dentist said if we can help him kick the habit now his teeth can spontaneously fix themselves. This was very difficult news for both Chasey and his mommy. It's hard for me to imagine how I will take it away but I knew he couldn't have it forever. His dentist was very nice, offering to help in anyway, including giving Chasey prizes in return for his paci! So we left for home with mission dc (discontinue in RN language) paci in mind...
