Braydon had his first dentist visit today. As we waited in the waiting room he flirted with all the females and was happy walking around with his book. When the dentist came back to get us we went in the room and he sat on my lap quietly playing with a book. Then when I laid him down on my lap he started to cry because the dentist was brushing his teeth. He cried the whole time and at the end when I held him he just sucked his thumb and cuddle with me. The dentist wants us to use fluoride toothpaste now and buy some water that has fluoride in it. I guess the fluoride is there to help the teeth become strong. He said it would be alright if he swallowed some of the fluoride from the toothpaste just not in large doses. Overall Braydon did very well at the dentist, considering he doesn't like anyone to touch his nose, ears, or mouth! We go back in 6 months, by then he will be 20 months old and hopefully a little better at the whole thing. Now I have to prepare for my dentist visit. I'm six months past due on a cleaning!
