Jackson's First Dentist Visit

We took Jackson to the dentist for the first time. Let me tell you they have really changed the atmosphere at the dentist office for children. We went to see Dr Joby Hurst. He was very nice but his office was the most impressive. You walk in and there is a playroom in a nautical theme. The playroom has a light house play set and boat you can seat in. Then when you go in the exam room in the middle there is a large fish aquarium with "Nemo" inside. The seats are large and yellow, they call them the banana seats. The hygienist gave Jackson sunglasses for the "special" light and let him chose what tooth brush ( Winnie the pooh theme characters), floss ( decorated with buzz lightyear or nemo) and fluoride flavor (cookie dough, strawberry, or chocolate- he choose strawberry). He did great, who wouldn't it that atmosphere. He got a good report. They told us to start flossing, which i quickly replied with the question "How do you floss a 3 yr old teeth?" she responded with put him on the bed and start teaching him. HAHAHAHAHAHA, i guess she never has had to hold a three year old on the bed to floss his teeth. Anyways, the doctor said everything looked good, no stains or cavities! He was given several prizes including stickers and a coin for the treasure tower. He choose a plastic goldfish. Why? I am not sure but that is what he wanted. We start going every 6 months now!
