Dentists it's a love hate relationship

I guess most people either love going to the dentist or hate going to the dentist. For me it's both. I hate the anticipation of going to the dentist and any work that they have to do but I love getting my teeth cleaned and the clean feel afterwards. My recent adventures at the resulted in a root canal and temporary crown. Now I have to wait for the permanent one (hmm more anticipation) then he told me he wants me to come back for a cleaning and exam because he saw another cavity while he was doing the root canal (Ugh!). On a positive note the color they had to match was almost the whitest one so no teeth whitener for me and they said it looks like I brush good. Crazy though, I brush twice a day and floss regularly so why do I get to be so lucky and need all this work done. I guess it's genetics.
Anyways Allie went to the dentist for the first time. She was a little worried at first but the hygienist was really good with calming her down and making it fun. Not to mention she got to watch Ratatouille while they worked on her. The down side is she has 5 cavities on her 4 back teeth that need to be fixed. Luckily they are all surface layer still so they will just use the nitrous oxide instead of a numbing shot. They will also smooth out her teeth since they have deep ridges and will be hard to keep clean (probably the reason for the 5 cavities). They gave her an orange "nose" to practice with so when she goes back she will bring her mask and use that one and it won't be as scary.(fingers crossed) She was such a trooper the dentist said he was impressed with how good she was for a first appointment. They even got a full set of x-rays which apparently is rare with a 3 year old.

So here's the pictures from Allie's first adventure at the dentist. She says she wants to go back so hopefully she'll stay a love it with the dentist.
