Dentist

Reese had her first trip to the dentist today.  I had such high hopes because we had been talking about the dentist for weeks, and even practiced examining our teeth and the teeth of our stuffed animals this morning.  But, no luck.  This picture was taken right before the drama began.

Reese FLIPPED OUT when they told her to open her mouth for the cleaning, so no cleaning.  She continued crying/screaming when the dentist examined her.  The dentist told me her front tooth was chipped just a bit.  I have no idea when that happened!  The only thing we accomplished during the visit (besides traumatizing Reese) was putting some fluoride on her back teeth (as I held her down and she screamed).   I'll rate this as one of our worst experiences yet.  We won't be going back to the dentist for a long time.
