Sophie loves the Dentist!!!
Today Sophie had a dental check up. It is the 3rd time she has been and she has loved it each time. We go to the best pediatric dentist group. I don't have a preference of doctors, they are all great, and the atmosphere and staff are what set this place apart. There are fish and lizards and snakes and video games and movie and a chalk wall to draw on - all in the waiting room. There is an open bay area with 4 bright color chair, puppets, lots of windows, and movies on the ceiling for the kids to watch. And they can pick one of 4 movies to watch when they are there. (Today the office was busy and we ended up having our own private room, the open bay area was full.) They always take pictures of the kids teeth and then they 'tickle' their teeth with their choice of toothpaste. The list of flavors is endless, and today Sophie chose raspberry, yum! She also got to watch Ratatouille (did I spell that right, yes, I looked it up on our Disney home page!). All of the staff introduce themselves to the kids, and today our dental hygenist was Mindy. She was so nice, and gave Sophie a choice of toothbrushes to take home in her goodie bag. She chose a purple Belle toothbrush out of all of them. It was a tough decision for Sophie, they were all different Disney Princess toothbrushes, how did they know what she would like? Well, when 
the dentist came in he said how beautiful Sophie's teeth were. She polietly said thank you. He said they looked like princess teeth, and he asked if Sophie was a princess and of course she said yes! When it was all done they gave Sophie a coin she got to pick a prize out of their prize machines. She picked a squishy ball, the same thing she picked last time. Love those squishy balls! But most of all we love the dentist! The first visit the dentist said that according to the x-rays, she may need braces when she is 8 or so. Sophie, not understanding the implications of braces, proudly went around, and still goes around telling people that she will get braces when she is 8... I don't have the heart to tell her what braces really are, and how wonderful they are. I don't have any first hand experience with braces, but I can only imagine! She thinks they sound wonderful and special! But all in all, today was a sucess and we'll be back in six months for another fun check-up with the dentist!
