I did it! Well, kinda! The kids went to the dentist today and the dentist said they're teeth are very strong and very healthy. I don't know why, but I just felt so good as a mommy! I am taking good care of thier teeth.
I guess it made me feel so good because my first experience with bringing Tre to the dentist was terrible. The dentist said his teeth showed signs of "significant damage" and if I wasn't more careful they would all be rotten and black in no time. I left crying. I had brushed his teeth twice a day every day and only given him a little bit of juice (that was diluted with water). I felt like a failure. It didn't help that Tre nearly had a nervous breakdown at the place. I started asking around and then found out terrible things about this place and I switched.
We went to this new dentist about a 6 months ago and she was fabulous and Tre didn't shed a tear and William did well too. Today was no differnt. Both of the boys did well. Tre sat in the chair like a big boy and listened very well. William cried, but it wasn't terrible and he actually enjoyed the flouride. The dentist said to keep doing what we are doing because their teeth are in great condition! YAY!
We went to the Children's Museum after and now I am hoping they take a nap. Wish me luck!
What do they do for William? Do they actually clean them? Logan has his first appt next month and I'm very nervous. He doesn't even let me brush his teeth unless I pin him down. He loves to brush them on his own, but it's more of just sucking on the toothbrush rather than actual brushing.
