A Visit to Dr. Kwon

During Cameron's 18 month check up Dr. Pitts talked with us about Cameron's "teeth brushing" habits. He informed us that most kids have their first dental appointment between 18-24 months. I honestly meant to schedule Cam's appointment for just before his 2nd birthday but things got crazy and I forgot! (I'm not a bad mommy I promise)

So during Cameron's 2nd year check up I asked for a recommendation for a pediatric dentist and we were able to get an appointment for this week. Even though we had not visited the dentist before I felt pretty good about Cameron's teeth. We do a really good job of making sure we brush and floss his teeth daily. But you never know so I did have some anxiety going into the appointment. Additionally because Cameron is QUITE active, I was certain this visit would be a tough one.

Well to our surprise Cameron did GREAT!!!!!!! I mean he was like a dental champ. Really, the dental hygienist and dentist were SO impressed. Before the d.h. started she informed us that most 2 year olds #1 don't want to even get in the chair and #2 she normally doesn't actually get to clean (and by no means floss) the kid's teeth on the first visit. She said normally its just poke around -if she can- and put some fluoride on their teeth. But our baby let her do EVERYTHING, clean, brush, floss and poke around! And she was also impressed with how his teeth looked. They both said we have done an excellent job with Cameron. We told them that it's really Cameron who is doing all the work, he is the one that will not get in the bed at night without "brush teeth mommy".

Check him out!!
