We took a field trip to a dentist office for "teeTH." I was excited about this field trip since shamefully I admit I still have not taken my kids to a dentist. So I felt like them having the opportunity to see everything before going would calm nerves and make the first experience more enjoyable. This office is very cute for children. They have play houses, toys, computers built into the wall with games and a TV for kids in the waiting room.
After getting some time to explore the waiting room the kids were read a story about visiting the dentist-
They have this cute little door the kids to go through when their names are called. That takes you into the x-ray area-
Next we were taken to where they brush and look at your teeth-
The kids were taught the proper way to brush their teeth and got to practice brushing dinosaur teeth! :)
Afterwards we got to visit the "sugar bug?" (is that what they call cavities?) room where they get the bugs out. Funny enough, that was the favorite room. Each kid got to sit in the chair that tipped them upside down and wear an elephant nose :)
Just receiving some more instruction, looking at the tools and the whole group that day (one of the moms had family in town, plus our younger kids)-
Each kid got a balloon and a little goodie bag. It had the dentist book they read to us, a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss threaders, a bracelet, another balloon, a magnet and basically my children thought it was the coolest thing ever! They were hilarious as I drove home oooing and ahhing over every little thing. They loved the dentist!
Thanks Children Dental for the wonderful tour!
