We have been doing a lot of talking about our teeth lately, February was National Children's Dental Health Month! The fun started at school when the Smile Fairy came to visit, she is a friend of mine which made it really fun to get to see her in my classroom. We learned about how to keep our teeth nice and strong and that her favorite number is 2! (Brush 2 times a day, for 2 minutes, and visit the dentist 2 times each year).
The timing of the Smile Fairy was pretty perfect because I had a trip to the dentist planned a few weeks later. I am such a pro that Mama lets me go in by myself and we get out teeth cleaned at the same time. Another great visit with no cavities, and two loose teeth!!
Ellen had her first visit to the dentist this year too! The hygienist was the same one I had. She showed Ellen how her chair goes up and down, Ellen thought that was pretty fun.
Next the hygienist counted and cleaned Ellen's teeth! Ellen was so brave and sat really nicely, but she did NOT like the water sprayer!
Even Maren had a trip to the dentist, though hers wasn't as much fun. Turns out she had a lip tie and a tongue tie that needed to be fixed. She got to wear some silly glasses, Mama said that they protected her eyes from the laser they used to do the releases. She was a trooper and was only a little fussy and is doing great now!
Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather! Make sure you visit your dentist soon!
