Riley had his first dentist appointment last week, and it was a great success! First of all, the pediatric dentist office was out of this world. They gave Riley a "Deputy Riley" badge when he arrived, and then we sat in this incredible waiting room.
There was a train running above our heads. Riley kept telling me that "Pop Pop left his train up there!!". Pop Pop has a train too, and he certainly didn't forget!
After a few quick xrays and a cool new ORANGE toothbrush, we got to spend a few minutes in the arcade while they prepped Riley's exam chair. Yes, an ARCADE at the dentist.
They gave him some cool ORANGE sunglasses to wear, and he watched a movie on the flat screen TV above the exam chair. I don't remember the dentist being this much fun as a kid!
Luckily, all of the "distractions" kept this 3 year old at ease, and he was very cooperative during the cleaning. He got a great tooth "report card", and got to use a gold token for a toy when we left. We can't wait to go back in 6 months!
How cool! I want to go to that dentist!
