Back when Bella was 2 and I was on maternity leave, I took her down to my office to clean her teeth (attempt, anyway). She wanted no part of it. She wouldn't even sit in the big chair.
Recently, I brought it up to her and explained that if you get your teeth cleaned, then you get to go to a treasure chest to pick out a prize. This sounded like a sweet deal to her, so I scheduled her an appointment for a few weeks out. Then I had to endure her asking me every morning "Is this the day I get my teeth cleaned?" Well, finally today was the day I was able to say Yes!
Dale brought her down and took pictures while I did everything. I was really impressed with my little Bella-Bear. She did great! At the end, Dr. Bowers helped her choose 2 prizes from the treasure chest.
This blog chronicles my life as a wife, mom, dental hygienist, photographer, and smart aleck. I make my home in Washington State. My favorite things are laughing, eating good food, taking pictures, cake decorating, blogging, and serving dental missions in third world countries. I stick my foot in my mouth so often we'll go ahead and call that a favorite hobby, too. I like to think of my blog readers as friends I invite into my home. So welcome. Come on in.
Bella is such a cute-y. She seems very happy to be in a dentist office! not me!!! no way!!! Glad to see her with a bright clean smile afterward.
