Jacob went to the dentist for the second time in his short life. This time was the "real deal" as opposed to the 5-minute visual exam we had six months ago.After sitting down in the dental exam chair (which REALLY makes a small kid look even smaller since the chairs are designed for adults), our big boy bravely endured the following:
- Scraping plaque off the teeth
- Polishing the teeth
- Flossing the teeth
- X-rays of the teeth
All that and NO cavities to boot! What a stud. The x-rays showed that his lower jaw is a little narrow and is crowding the teeth. Perhaps there are braces in the future, but we'll save that sort of visit for the teenage angst years.
The day was topped off with four stickers which Jacob promptly put all over his shirt. What more could you ask for?
