So, I took the kids to the dentist today. They went back in October/November. AJU6 went because his front two teeth were short and discolored back in October, and it turned out to just bee some staining and genetics. I took AJU5 back a few weeks later since we liked the office we went to. She was not very cooperative, so I didn't know how today would go at all.
Turns out both kids did AWESOME! AJU5 only whined/cried once. She was completely cooperative during the cleaning, fluoride treatment, and even an x-ray. Then, shortly after all that she threw up... That is what caused the crying, which I can understand. But the dentist bribed her with a sucker (that she didn't get to eat until we were home), and she sat still for him to look at her teeth, etc too. Then it was AJU6's turn. The dentist decided to try him in the big chair instead of the lap board, and he was quite cooperative. The other dentist (it is a father/son team) walked through the area and joked about us drugging him. He even sat still for the dentist to polish a few of his teeth that had a tiny bit of staining.
Both kids do have alignment issues thanks to their love of pacifiers, but other than that their teeth are perfect. I am just relieved that there was no fighting at all today!
(Hopefully I will catch up on some posts I have planned to write sometime in the next month. I know, I am terrible at blogging these days!)
