AJ had an uncommonly good time at the dentist this morning and told me all of the things that he loved about his dental check up today….
- X-rays that spin around your head
- Strawberry whipped cream stuff
- Finding out your teeth are “boring”
- Getting out of school
- Playing with toys in the waiting room
- Finding a toy in the toy chest
- Seeing pictures of your teeth
- Riding on the comfy chair
- Talking with the nice lady behind the front desk
- Finding your life calling…yes, AJ decided he wants to be a dentist when he grows up (a much better option than Pirate)

haha! Yeah, my 4.5 year old loves the dentist too. We should embrace this time. :)

That’s too cute! It’s always nice when the kids are excited about something that could be a trial!

Awww so cute. My kids love the treasure chest and the McDonald’s free ice cream coupon they receive:)

I don’t think I have ever been excited to go. My daughter Hannah was excited on her first trip until it was time to be seen.

Too cute! I always loved getting stickers when I went to the dentist as a kid.

Very cool! My kids aren’t afraid of the dentist either. I think it’s because I let them come to their older siblings appointments and let them watch. telling them that when they got old enough, they’d get to ride in the chair and watch movies on the ceiling.
Of course, the dentist still needs to use laughing gas when filling cavities. They also get their anxiety from me.

So sweet… reminds me I have to book an appt for my girls. I think I’ll do that now.

Heehee! My kids love the dentist too because they get out of school early.

My kids love going to the dentist. Of course it’s their poppop, my dad.

Well, that makes it a whole different experience. I bet he makes the dentist fun for them!

He tries!

Awesome! Did you “prep” him to find good things? Might be a good idea for others to do if their kids aren’t so fond of the dentist. He is adorable

No prepping! I just compiled a list of all of the things he was rambling about. Seriously, I’ve never seen a kid so excited about the dentist. Last time he went, he was terrified, so I think part of the excitement for him was the self-satisfaction of conquering an old fear. :)
