Carter Visits The Dentist

Carter had his teeth cleaned for the first time last Wednesday. He did very well and even let them take "pictures" of his teeth.


He let the hygenist "count" his teeth while she cleaned them and he really thought that it was funny that she "colored his teeth pink" with fluoride.

Dr. Proctor, his dentist, was really impressed with the way that Carter's teeth looked. He did say that, from the x-rays, it looks like he may have some crowding of his permanant teeth on the bottom, but that we'd tackle that problem later! I sure hope he doesn't have to have braces like his mommy!

He loved getting all of the stickers and balloons that they gave him while they cleaned his teeth and really enjoyed picking a toy out of the treasure box when he was finished! He was such a good patient! It's still hard for me to believe that he is old enough to get his teeth cleaned!
