Watching the trauma unfold for the first time as you leave your child at daycare is pretty taxing. No so much because you have to leave them behind for a couple of hours, but because of the screams and crying you will witness as you muster up the courage to leave them in that state. So, you can only imagine the angst and dread I was feeling as the days to Cole and Parker’s first visit to the dentist crept closer.
So the morning before our visit, I had the brilliant idea of explaining who and what a dentist did through pictures. After breakfast, we brushed our teeth and went online to Google “dentist.” After showing them kid friendly images (LOL) of what a dentist does, I decided to play “Dentist” with the boys. We sat on the couch, asked them to open their mouth while I probed and prodded their mouth and teeh with their toothbrushes. After creating this comfortable scenario, I was surprised that they were interested in really wanting to go see a dentist. Luckily for them, I had this day all planned out weeks in advance!
As a parent, not only do you often hear horror stories about first time visits to the dentist, but you get all types of advice, like stay in the waiting room and don’t go in. But because I like to document almost everything with pictures, I knew this plausible sound of advice was not an option.
Once in the dentist’s office, things ran really smoothly and no one cried or was difficult to manage. Other than Cole’s fidgeting, I would say the visit went so well that the boys are anxious to return and play with the “den-tits insta-ments” again. If you ask me, the most painful part of the visit was the paper work.
As a treat for behaving so well, I took the boys to Lincoln Park Zoo the following day. Rewards are a great way to show appreciation. Plus it’s a win-win situation for all. Plus, the sound of “no cavities” is always good to hear!
