Say Ahhhh

In August, Joseph went to the dentist for his very first cleaning. Luckily, my mom was in town and could stay with Andrew and Matthew so I could focus on just helping Joseph through the process for his first time. He was definitely nervous and took some time to warm up to everything.  But, the hygenists were great and really explained things well to him as to what they would be doing and what all the instruments were for.  So they were able to do everything they needed to do. He got a good report and his teeth looked great.  He does have a bit of an underbite and the dentist seemed to think he will likely need a retainer.  They will try to do it next year if possible but for sure before he turns 7 or 8.

Here he is holding "Mr. Thirsty"...they let him do his own suction to get the water out of his mouth
