Selah was a trooper. She had her first dentist appointment last week. None of my children mind going to the dentist. In fact, they actually look forward to it and argue over who's going to go first. We usually break up the family into 2 appointment days. It works out great because either Caleb or Seth can stay home to take care of whoever doesn't go. A couple years ago, we'd have to make a stop at grandma's to drop some kiddos off.
Now, one reason that they get super excited about going is because if they get a clean bill of health (no cavities), they get a shake right afterward.
Unfortunately, Selah has cavities already. She is so much like Grace in looks and other ways, I think she has the same teeth. :( Grace had cavities in all of her front baby teeth before loosing them. Hopefully, Selah's won't be that bad, but it's not looking too good for my 3 year old. She's not going to get them filled because most of the time we don't worry about baby teeth. We just wait for them to fall out.
On a side note, I love to see our Dentist and Hygentist. The dentist is soft-spoken and kind, AND not afraid of natural treatments. He doesn't necessarily employ them, but he isn't against them. He kind of takes a "well, lets see if it works" approach. I like that. Our Hygentist is also very sweet. I enjoy talking to her. She is amazed by our big family and asks me questions about them alot. She is wanting to get pregnant, but her and her husband have been having trouble. I pray for her and look forward to her giving me good news one of these times when we see her again.
