The Dentist

A few weeks ago, Pearce had another visit to the dentist.  He has been going to the dentist regularly since he was about 18 months old, and has always done so well!  This visit was no exception.  First, he had to get x-rays....he's never done this before, but he did everything the tech told him to do and I was so proud!  Then it was time to go back to the exam room.  He got to pick out a movie to watch...he picked out Toy Story and then he picked out some sunglasses, put them on, leaned back, and watched the movie while he got his teeth cleaned.  His dentist, Dr. Gregorson, is sooo nice and Pearce really likes him which makes the whole experience so easy!  Dr. Gregorson gave Pearce a great report on his teeth.  He also said Pearce's overbite has gotten a lot better and that it will continue to self-correct as he grows.  I didn't tell him that Pearce has latched onto another blankie :)  BUT, in Pearce's defense, he has really gotten good about not wanting to take blankie in the car and a lot of the times, he does just hold blankie when he's watching a movie....he mostly sucks on blankie when he goes to sleep at night , but I have noticed that he doesn't keep it in his mouth ALL night like he did BB's.  Mama got Pearce his own Sonicare toothbrush and Pearce has started brushing his own teeth all by himself....and then I go over them a little bit.  I think that toothbrush is so great for little kids and Dr. Gregorson was impressed Pearce had one!
