Cade goes to the dentist!

Every journal, article, Pediatrician, and even Dentists have given us varying answers on when to take our child to the dentist for the first time.  So, I took the average of all answers and went with three since we have brushed Cade's teeth (or variations of it since 18 months) and have had no teeth problems.  We added Cade to our insurance and then began the preparations a few weeks in advance.  We had been telling him for months that it was almost time, but a few weeks before we layed it on thick with books, practicing things a dentist might ask, and bedtime talk.  It worked out even better that my dental appointment was a few days before.  The teacher in me asked the nurse if I could take home the rubber part they clean your teeth with.  I have learned this is called a "prophy brush".  So, I showed it to Cade, we talked about it, he took it to Gamee's for show and tell....and then we held our breath that everything would go perfect.  The afternoon of the appointment, both Charles and I took Cade.  He was in a great mood, waited patiently, was friendly with all staff, and even told the nurse, "you can use a prophy brush on me"!  Ha!  We were so proud of our little man.  Cade received a perfect report, no cavities, and is not afraid of the dentist!  Yahoooooooo!
