Last Tuesday we made a trip to Gridley to visit our dentist, Rich's dad. Rich and I had our biannual teeth cleaning and we were hoping Ava would let Papa Bruce check out her teeth too. Our plan was to have Ava watch me get my teeth cleaned to ease her into it, but that backfired. As soon as she saw the hygienist with the lights and glasses on her head she freaked out. From that point on she didn't want anyone to look at her teeth. The only thing that calmed her down was the giant set of teeth and toothbrush in the office. Ava had a good time brushing the teeth and really wanted to take the toothbrush home. Oh well, we will have to try again in 6 months.
This picture pretty much sums up Ava's feelings about going to the dentist...Sorry Papa Bruce & Uncle Bob.

Not that I am saying to not go see Grandpa B. or Uncle Bob but I know at our Pediatric Dental Office it's more soothing for kids. Decor, different type of atmosphere, TV's hanging from the ceiling so the kiddo's can watch their fav. DVD you bring in etc. Just a thought. Cute pics anyway ;)
