Carley's First Visit to the Dentist

Poor Carley cried and screamed but that made it really easy and quick for the dentist to give her an exam.  The dentist declared Carley's teeth to be perfect and beautiful!  We knew she had beautiful teeth but it was good to hear there were no problems as well.  In fact the dentist gave all 3 kids a clean bill of health. 

And unlike last time, Lindsey and Sam did great!  No incidents of mouths clenched shut or biting the hygienist's hand.  Lindsey even allowed her teeth to be cleaned, although she refused to swallow the rinse water so it dribbled out the sides of her mouth.  I asked the hygienist if it was common for kids Lindsey's age to do that and she said, "No, in fact this is the first time I've ever seen a kid do that".  Leave it up to Lindsey to come up with a new spin on things.  Still it was a major improvement from 6 months ago.
