AJ and Sydney visited the dentist yesterday to get their teeth cleaned, which we were supposed to do last May. Because I'm that organized.
And because there is no justice in this world, AJ, who has to be reminded and nagged constanty to brush his teeth, again came away with a perfect report of zero cavities. The only bad news he got was that he probably won't be losing any more teeth for a while. Oh no! No visits from the tooth fairy? There goes his best source of income.
Meanwhile, Sydney, who reminds me when she hasn't brushed her teeth, was found to have a small cavity.
It's not fair. Or, as Sydney sees it, awesome! Now she can go back to get even more exciting trinkets from the dentist's treasure box.
At yesterday's appointment, Sydney came away with a flower ring, hairclip and pink sunglasses. Not a bad haul for a half hour of reclining in a chair and opening her mouth wide. (It helps that the dentist's assistant is the mother of one of our babysitters.)
She especially liked when the hygienist "painted" a sealant on her teeth. "It tastes like strawberries!" Sydney excitedly announced.
We'll be going back in two weeks to get her cavity fixed, and so that I can take a turn in the hygeniest's chair. Yesterday's visit was originally supposed to be for me, but I switched it around so I could get the kids in before school starts. Because I'm that organized.
