So one of my goals being out on maternity leave was to get us to the dentist, well at least Deven.
I
haven't been to the dentist for a very very long time...like 10 years
too long. I decided this was a bad example and this was the year we all
need to start going!
First though, why have I not gone in so
long?? I hate the dentist...I know who doesn't? I have a good reason
though I swear! Novocaine doesn't work on me. I've even had dentists
drill my teeth to insert it next to my nerve and it STILL didn't work.
The next step up, not sure what its called, which is supposed to take
five minutes to set is already well on its way out of my system by
then. The problem is dentists don't seem to believe me and they just
keep trying. I've had my fair share of cavities and I generally feel
all the drilling...thus my severe dislike if the dentist. I'm hoping
Deven has not inherited this trait and I will not be telling him about
it anytime soon.
Yesterday I met my goal though and got
Deven in...I'm signed up for the end of the month, promise! So these
pics are not good but I tried to take them quickly because even though I
was being 'that mom that takes pics of her son's first trip to the
dentist' I didn't want to go totally nuts and make him pose or anything.
The
conclusion is that Nick and I are doing great taking care of his
teeth!! Deven let them clean and floss his teeth too! So proud of our
big boy!!
