Logan had his first dental visit yesterday.  Stuart felt that it was too soon for Logan to see the dentist, but I was very glad that we did.  The pediatric dental office is very nice and well decorated with children’s toys and TV monitors.  There were a couple of kids just relaxing with headphones on and staring up at the TV monitors in the ceiling while keeping their mouths wide opened for the dentist.  Logan was doing fine there initially; we watched some TV and walked around the room to check out the toys and decors.  But he did not want to open his mouth or show his teeth to the assistant.  So I was taught how to allow Logan to sit on me and lean him down toward the dentist’s lap when he arrived.  Logan did not enjoy that part, but it was just a quick couple of minutes of looking inside his mouth.  The dentist confirmed that his last 2 molars are showing now.  His teeth, gums and bites all checked out fine.  I was given a lot of good information about dental hygiene, and I will definitely ensure we do a better job in brushing his teeth.  Logan received a balloon, a toy and some stickers when we left, so he was quite happy too.  We will be back in 6 months.
