What a wierdo


So I am trying to catch up on things. On Wednesday June 25th MacKenzie had her first real dentist appointment. I say real because she went to the dentist on base while we were in Germany and it was a total waste of our time. For the cleaning there they counted her teeth and used a tooth brush and toothpaste to clean her teeth. I had some emergency work done a month or so ago and really liked the dentist so I made an appointment for MacKenzie. She was a bit hesitant because she hated the suction wand but both the hygienist and dentist let her hold it and gave her control of the power. She enjoyed herself as much as you can at the dentist. And she even willingly went back the following Monday to have sealants done on four of her teeth. On her visit that Monday we also saw the orthodontist. MacKenzie is extremely excited that she is probably going to need braces. That kid is completely sick in the head. We will see what happens in the next 9 months as far as that is concerned. As for Cameron after a while he warmed up to being there. And I don't know how he maneged to get it but he loved the suction wand too. He sucked his own mouth for at least 20 minutes. We all figured that it was a start to getting him to someday be OK with getting his own teeth checked.

While Kenzie got her xrays Cam climbed in.
