Our trip to the dentist

Erin works at a pediatric dentist office and has been dying to get Brielle in. A few weeks ago Erin noticed plaque on the front of Brielle's teeth. Next thing I knew Erin was calling me telling me she set up an appointment for Brielle to see dentist.

I wasn't too sure how it was going to go. I figure it would go ok or really bad. Brielle was excited to see Erin and was SUPER good during her cleaning. However the dentist check didn't go as well. Brielle didn't like the tools in her mouth, but by the end she was not crying as much. We were informed we were doing a good job brushing her teeth (which made us feel really good) and we saw many teeth getting ready to present themselves. Brielle was treated like a star and everyone in the office was excited to see her.
Can you tell Erin is super excited to have Brielle as her patient.
Brielle wasn't too sure about sitting in the chair by herself. Luckily Daddy was able to come so I could take some pictures.
Erin is so good at her job! Brielle loved it!
Brielle allowed Erin to clean her teeth and she didn't even fight her. Why wont she do that with us? We need lessons.

Near the end she wanted to brush her own teeth.
In order for Erin to finish, Matt had to hold Brielle down and did some coaching...Say "AAAAAHHHH"
She did so well with the toothbrush Erin busted out the other cleaning tools.
Cleaning is all done, GOOD JOB ERIN!
She really didn't like the tools in her mouth, but we were able to get a great inspection of her mouth.
She was pretty excited she was able to pick out a toy, she even showed off her shiny clean teeth.
