Kendrick's Checkup at the Dentist

On July 18, 2013, Kendrick had a check up appointment at the dentist.  I wasn't sure how it was going to go, because the last time we came to the dentist, he threw a little fit and wouldn't let them really look at his teeth.  So, I was a little bit worried about how it would go.

 

When we first got there, Kendrick had a lot of fun looking around at all the things the dentist has in the waiting room.  They had us go back really quick though, so he didn't get to see what he wanted to, but he was ok.

 

We first went into do x-rays, but he wasn't having that!  I thought, oh no, here we go.  But the assistant said that we didn't really need them today, so we passed up on the x-rays!

 

We went into the exam room and Kendrick was excited to play with the horse and the big toothbrush.  He got in the chair and also was having fun watching a movie.  He watched Shrek.

 

Having fun with the horse, toothbrush, and wearing cool shades to watch the movie.

Kendrick did great - he just watched the movie while they cleaned his teeth.

Kendrick got a little bit nervous when the dentist came in, but then he settled down and we made it through the appointment!  He didn't have any cavities and he received a new toothbrush, a free ice cream cone at Sonic, and a token to ride the horse outside.

Of course, on our way out we had to stop and let Kendrick play with the train table that was in the waiting room/lobby.  He had time now.  So, I sat back for a minute and let him play.

He loved it!

He could have stayed there all day!

I finally talked him into going outside and riding the horse.

He had a good time riding the horse too!

Waving to mom!

Yay - a successful trip to the dentist!
