first trip to the dentist!

Yes, she only has 2 teeth (with more just around the corner), but I read that children should go to the dentist by their first birthday. So, we went to the pediatric dentist this morning. We were doing OK until we laid her down so the hygienist could look in her mouth. That went over like a lead balloon. I wasn't expecting a cleaning anyway (there are only 2 teeth, after all!), so it was no big deal, but they really wanted the experience to be positive. There was a little more screaming when the dentist looked in her mouth, but for the most part, it was OK. The dentist says that everything looks OK and she's a little late in starting the teething process, but it's still within reason. I got a great look at the 4 top teeth that are going to come in about the same time. She has a 15 month molar that is breaking through on the bottom, but it is being about as slow as Christmas!
