last week, ava had her first trip to the dentist.
and she was awesome.
no fussing, no crying, no fear, no breakdown. she was on her best behavior and even gave a few of the assistants/hygenists hugs when she left. being an ex-orthodontist assistant i certainly can appreciate a great patient, especially one as young as she. she was perfectly compliant.
every day since the trip, she's shown any visitor at our house her new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and timer that she got from her new best friend, the dentist. i guess, i would've been as excited as she if i had an awesome pediatric dentist when i was little. instead, i just went to a lame, boring, cold and scary dental office, where i was given a boring, plain toothbrush, stern looks and if i was lucky, maybe a sticker.
