We just had a family visit to the dentist this morning: Scott and Conner at 7am, Payton and I at 8am.
And I just have to say that Payton was awesome! He was sooo well behaved, he let them clean his teeth without any problem whatsoever. But here's what takes the cake . . . . he let them take TWO x-rays!!!!! I was floored. At first the dental assistant asked me if we wanted to do them today. I told her that I really didn't think he would go for it. She suggested we just try so he gets an idea of what it's all about. So I stood back out of the room and watched her coax the films into his mouth and he was amazing. He didn't complain, he didn't try to choke or cough or take them out. Seriously, I'm standing there getting teary-eyed at what a champ this boy is being. You must understand that Payton is our timid one - he's fearful of a lot of things, and when he doesn't care for a situation he can go from 0 to 60 in two seconds flat. Honestly, I can't say how proud I was.
Conner was also great and he got sealants on his back 4 permanent molars that have recently come in. And me, I got a clean bill of dental health which makes me ecstatic! Especially because this was a visit with x-rays. Those blasted x-rays always do me in. Here's to 4-6 more months of dental bliss.
