We just got back from the girls first dentist appointment this morning!

She was uber excited to be going to the dentist....untilllllll.....she had to be in 'the chair' :lol

When you walk in the office you are greeted by a very friendly staff, and there are great toys....the girl gravitated straight to the barbies and the dollhouse.

She found 2 books and we read those together....then she got called back to her visit.

She got quite nervous and kept askign for me to hold her :(

it was at that point the dentist asked if she wanted bubble gum, or cookie dough flavored tooth polish and she chose cookie dough :giggle

they could tell she was nervous and allowed to her sit up rather than lay down and watch the movie (which they have a little movie library up front and before the kid goes to the chair they pick out a movie to watch during the visit from their chair)

sitting up....the dentist counted her fingers with her....which made her comfortable...then she asked her what happened to her finger with the bandaid on it....and he she got such pretty curly hair :tongue

all these in a soft sweet voice really engaging and comforting to the girl :hug

at this point the girl was able to lay down for her exam and cleaning!

She did GREAT! She really made me proud :love

No cavities :banana

Here are a few photos....all taken with my iphone

Happily waiting for the dentist

is she the one that takes healthy families? Not that it matters since we are too poor for HF and the kids have medi-cal right now. I don't recall if with Caleb we are at HF tier rate once K gets a permanent job again... I'd gladly pay for HF to have more options.

Yes, she is the HF Delta Dental dentist. Michelle: It is in a building that has a play structure out front, though I think it is across the street from La Petite (if that is still there)? I don't know RP that well. BTW, I got a starbucks card for referring someone from here, so if you do go, be sure to tell them who sent you :)

What a big girl! So glad she did so well!

I've always thought I would just take C to my dentist (Donna Yock on Snyder), but their office is soooo not kid friendly! This one looks amazing! May have to reconsider...:)

That's so cool you got to take pictures. I wanna do that for scrap booking purposes.
V saw the pics, and now she wants to go to the dentist. Which is great cause I need to take her. Now to see if she takes my insurance.
