Last Wednesday Emma went to the dentist to get her tooth checked out. She did so good, laid still the whole time and let them do everything they needed to without complaining. 2 years ago she had 4 crowns put in, which was quite traumatizing for a 2.5 year old. She has been pretty anxious ever since, understandably. So I was it glad went so well. She watched Trolls and just relaxed. They did put her crown back in, which didn't take long but didn't feel good. I promised her a Pumpkin Smash Smoothie afterwards.
She brought Minnie Mouse to hold.
We have a great dentist, very accommodating. Today We went in for me and they set her up with a tv and headphones and toys. Other times they have let her watch everything they do to me to help her not be afraid.
Such a cool kid
Cool pumpkin smoothie on a hot day! And a full smile once again.
Such a brave girl - and Mom! I'm happy to note I am not the only Mom who rewards dentist visits with ice cream.....I do the same for shots. LOL
