Between Christmas and New Years, Oliver had the pleasure of going to the dentist for the first time. He did really well and let them clean and floss his teeth. He got a clean bill of health with no cavities. YAY! He wouldn't lay down though. I think it was too closely related to laying down at the doctor, which is usually followed by sharp shots in the leg. It is a pediatric dentist, so they were prepared for anything and they were very flexible to clean his teeth while he sat up. They said he had a "Hollywood Smile" which means that his teeth are close together and touching or close to touching. This also means that when his adult teeth come in, they will probably be crowded. Looks like braces are in our future.
When we left he said he liked the dentist, it didn't hurt, it was fun but he doesn't want to go back. Too bad kiddo. Your next appointment is already set up six months down the road.
If you can believe it, I forgot my camera this day so this is a picture from my phone.
