Candor went to the dentist this week for his second visit. The first visit, 6 months ago, was somewhat of a disaster. He cried the entire 4 minutes it lasted.
This time, however, he was AMAZING! The days leading up to the appointment we talked about him 'getting' to go to the dentist. We talked about how much fun it was going to be and how the nice dentist was going to brush and look at his teeth.
I told Candor if he listened to the dentist and didn't cry then we could do whatever he wanted to after the dentist. He requested to go to the toy store and get ice cream! I said - OK!!
On the drive to the dentist I reminded him if he was good that we could go get ice cream and then go to the toy store. Well............he was SPECTACULAR! I seriously could not believe what a perfect little boy he was. I was sooooooooo proud of him!
Waiting in the waiting room for our appointment.
Dr. Hughes (the dentist) was so nice. He told Candor that these were super power sunglasses and he needed to wear them while they looked at his teeth. He happily obliged.. Hughes also talked to Candor about Monster Jam and how he was going in April to see them too!
When the appointment was over Candor got to choose a prize from the toy chest. He chose a lemon. So random but hey if he wants a lemon he gets a lemon! The dental hygienist then took his picture to place on the wall.
Since they put fluoride on his teeth he was not suppose to eat or drink for 30 minutes so we headed to Target first instead of the ice cream shop. He looked and looked and looked for a good 45 minutes at every toy they had.
He finally decided on a Mack the Dip & Dunk Trailer from the movie Cars.
Once back in the car he said he did not want to get ice cream and that he wanted to go home and play. Well he played and played with his new toy.
He then quickly passed out for his nap after a great morning.

We made it back to the room. There was a TV on the ceiling and he could choose to watch whatever tv show he wanted. He picked Dinotrux!

Dr. Hughes cleaned all his teeth (20 total!), polished them, and then put fluoride on them.
