I was pretty nervous about how he was going to react, but he did very well! It helped that there was a huge Thomas the Tank Engine play table in the waiting room, and a big fish tank in the wall next to where he had his exam. It was one of those colorful tropical tanks, complete with a Nemo, a Marlin, and a Dory, so that was a big bonus!
He survived the teeth cleaning, the flossing, and the exam by the very nice dentist, Dr. Shingler. And he was very happy with the balloon and other treats (Diego toothbrush, SpongeBob toothpaste) he got when we left.
Evan is going for his first appointment this week. I keep mentioning it so as to prepare him. I said to him yesterday "Evan, on Tuesday, you're going to go to the dentist." His reply: "Yeah, I gotta get my balloon!"
