I got a call the other day from Dan saying he had an opening to clean some teeth. He is in training to be a dentist so he needed some kids to practice on. Addison was very excited get her teeth cleaned. She has had it done before and was looking forward to the goodie bag with the toothbrush and toothpaste. This was a first cleaning for Luke, and he wasn't so sure he was ready. Addison tried to convince him all the way in, but I could tell from the look on his face that he was scared. Luke loves Dan (he has babysat, he comes out to my mom and dad's when we're out there, and we go to church with Dan) so I thought Luke wouldn't be scared. Luke wasn't scared of Dan, but he was terrified of the chair. We tried to convince him that the chair was really fun and it went up and down and back like a bed. But the chair was just too big and scary. So I held him on my lap and then all went well. He held very still and did everything Dan told him to do. He loved the straw thing that sucks the water out of your mouth. I thought that he ended up enjoying getting his teeth cleaned, but when I asked him what his favorite part was he said, "I didn't like any of it."
Addison on the other hand LOVED it. As we were walking to the car she said, "I love getting my teeth cleaned can we go back tomorrow and every day?" Dan did a great job. If you want to get your teeth cleaned you should go see Dentist Dan.
