Yesterday Carter and Elijah had check-ups at the dentist. Of course, I was on pins and needles all day, worried that it would be a disastrous trip. But true to form the boys proved me wrong and were shining stars for Dr. Wyke, Miss Pam and Miss Joanne.
The trip yesterday marked Eli's first check-up ever and he did really well. All looks good...his bottom two molars are halfway through and NO CAVITIES! Although he was less than thrilled with Miss Pam in his mouth, he did allow her to clean , count and floss his teeth. Carter held true to his promise and was an excellent boy (wanted to show his brother that the dentist was a fun thing to do) and sat through his cleaning, flossing and tooth counting with no problem. Carter also had NO CAVITIES! The only thing Carter was unsure about was having his x-rays done. He was very curious about the camera, film and what the pictures of his teeth would look like but he was not happy about the film that was inserted into his mouth. He got a reprieve but will have to have those x-rays done when he is back in January. In the end the boys left with a treasure from Miss Pam's special bucket (a patriotic pinwheel for Carter, bubbles for Eli) and their bag of goodies which included new toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste and stickers. The boys seemed very happy with that.
The best part.....both got to sign up for Dr. Wyke's 'No Cavity Club' putting them in the running for free movies passes. A little motivation to keep those teeth cavity free goes a long way! Awesome job boys!
