Matthew's first visit to the dentist

Matthew had his first visit to the dentist the other day, he loved it! I took him to Steve and I's dentist, a family friend actually. He was great with Matthew and his hygenist was so accomadating to all of Matthew's questions and needs! What a doll! He really was excited about all the cool "prizes" they give you, the goody bag was so cool! When he got home he brushed his teeth like 3 times before bedtime when he did it again. They gave him a timer, that does two minutes, he does it the entire time, he really likes the timer! It is a good visual thing to use! I suggest it to your kids if they don't do well with verbal reminders (this has really helped!).

Feeling the polish, Matthew is very tactile, has to feel everything before feeling alright about it!
And great to say, his teeth look excellent!
