A few months ago a dentist visited Sadie's classroom for a mini-lesson. Since that day she had been badgering me about going to the dentist. For a good week she'd hand me a phone and say "call the dentist now." I guess that was my hint.
I'm not in love with our insurance (I find them very tough to navigate who's in or out of network - and seem to end up socked with charges down the line). But when a co-worker recommended pediatric dentist Dr. Robin Eliasberg in Framingham - I phoned them up and was reassured they accept my plan.
Sadie woke up today with such excitement, you would have thought we were going to an amusement park. Nope, off to the dentist. I wasn't really sure what to expect - for a 3 year old I'd figure they'd ease them into it. Look at a few teeth, show them the tools, maybe do a brushing. Um, no. It was like a legit adult appointment with plaque scraping, brushing and flossing.
To say Sadie was a saint is an understatement. Hygienist Missy was digging around in her mouth for a good hour (Missy was great - talked her through it and tried to make it as "cool" as possible. I mean check out the shades!). The entire office is custom made for kids (a whole toy closet to go nuts in) - I'm just in love with them.
We strolled out with our heads held high, a new Sleeping Beauty toothbrush, a few stickers and dazzling teeth.
