Zorba's first visit to the dentist went better than I thought. She allowed the hygienist to look in her mouth and count her teeth ( I had to sit in the chair with her), but when the polisher was brought it that was it, she was done. Once the dentist came in, she refused to allow him near her. He was great with her. He took off his lab coat and really tried to win her over, but she wouldn't have it. Maybe next time. At least the hygienist got a good enough look at her teeth though to let us know that Zorba's teeth are in good shape. Phew!
I am impressed with you! I was terrified to bring my S to the dentist until she was 4. Now her sister wants to go and I am afraid to take her...must be my terror of the dentist!
She is adorable there!

Aw- she's getting so big! By the way, I just love the way you dress her. She's always wearing such fun clothes in such fun bright colors. So chic for a tot!

I'm happy to hear that everyone backed off when they did so it didn't traumatize sweet Zoe.

I just have to love someone who carts her camera into the dentist's office. Unless you were using your phone. Then I don't love you nearly as much. But I think it was your camera and thus, I love you.

Ohhhh. You have reminded me that I desperately need to go to the dentist. I hate it. But I know how good it is to have freshly cleaned teeth. The last time I went was in 2004 when I had 3 wisdom teeth taken out under a GA. NOT nice.
I know I will behave just like Z in the dentist chair... NOT a good look - seeing as I am almost 31.

In time, maybe Zorba will do well with the dentist. She would have even let the dentist count and clean her teeth by now. I think it really takes time for the little tykes to ease up at the dentist's chair. Wait 'til she gets her reward from the goodies box.
