Hannah's "First" Dentist Visit

Why is "first" in quotes you ask? This was technically her THIRD visit, however the FIRST time that she even opened her mouth. The first visit she never even made it into the chair. The second visit, she made it into the chair, but never even opened her mouth. This time, six months later, she did every single thing HAPPILY! I credit a lot of that to pre school. It has brought Hannah out of her shell quite a bit and I am so so grateful for that!!!

In the waiting area the dentist has this huge bird "cage." Hannah loves to watch the birds fly all around while we wait.

Open wide!!!





Hannah and our hygienist, Jackie. Jackie was so unbelievably patient and caring with Hannah those first two visits. I was ready to pin Hannah down and hold her mouth open. Jackie kept reassuring me that we would take baby steps and when Hannah was ready, she would open her mouth. They never charged me until Hannah opened her mouth too! Thank you Jackie!!! Now when Hannah brushes her teeth she says she has to get them clean for Jackie! <3
