Ryan and Lucie had a very positive trip to the dentist (despite what this look on Ryan's face tells you). Mostly, it was because the dentist was friendly, knowledgeable, great with kids, and gave them both a stellar report. But I think the TV mounted to the ceiling above the chair helped a bit too.
If you ask Lucie about the dentist, the first thing she'll tell you is all about the headphones she got to wear to listen to the "cartoons in the ceiling!" Unfortunately, Ryan didn't discover this during his exam. No problem, he was pretty excited about helping to count his teeth with the dentist, and the toy he got to pick from the treasure chest at the end of the visit.
Apparently we're not the first people to document their child's first dentist visit. The dentist said he has seen his hands in many family photos, including a Christmas card! I guess I'm not the only wacky parent, though a Christmas card does seems a bit much...

What brave little ones. I went to the dentist today and it wasn't fun. I am glad they had such a positive experience their first time at the dentist.
