A First Trip to the Dentist for Lucas

By Courtney 125 Comments

This post is brought to you by a STSL sponsor!

Ohhhh, my sweet little Lucas. When he’s surrounded with people and places he’s familiar with, this kid is quite the character. He’s outgoing, he’s so darn funny, he’s smart, and he knows what he wants. He’s 3-1/2 and there’s no denying that, but it’s so fun.

wsg-1

But put him in a situation where he’s around people he doesn’t know or if he’s in an unfamiliar place, and he becomes a completely different kid. Shy, timid, hiding behind mommy…and if he’s tired enough, meltdowns are not out of the norm.

I have no doubt that this is normal for many toddlers, but for these reasons, I was very anxious about bringing him for his first trip to the dentist. It was something we meant to do back over the summer, shortly after he turned three, but then life with a newborn happened, then potty training, then a new school, and…you get the idea. Life got busy!

I’d heard a number of great things from friends and acquaintances of mine about a local pediatric dentist, Where Smiles Grow (at Capital District Pediatric Dentistry), so we decided to give them a try (for the locals, we visited the Latham office!).

Our whole ride there (and the days leading up to our appointment) I tried my best to hype up the visit. I explained that he’d get to wear cool sunglasses and maybe even get a prize if he did well. He’d always get excited about those, but when we talked about the dentist looking at his teeth, he was NOT excited and kept telling me we didn’t have to go.

Greeeeattttt, I thought. This is going to go smooth.

As soon as we walked in, he acted exactly as I’d expected; shy, hiding behind me, asking to go home. Poor kid. But then the sweetest receptionist reached out and caught his attention, pointing out their big game room they have. Well, she certainly knows the key to my kid’s heart!

wsg-3

We had a few minutes to play in the game room before the hygienist came out to greet us and bring us back into the room. Again, talk about some amazing staff. And I swear, with 110% certainty, I am NOT just telling you that because this is technically a sponsored post. Even if it was not, I would be singing their praises. They. Were. Incredible.

Wsg-5-2

Much to my surprise, Lucas willingly hopped right up into the chair, where they had Finding Dory playing on the TV above him. He was in his glory!

Wsg-4-2

The hygienist and I spoke a bit while she asked some questions about his medical background, oral health, etc, while Lucas continued to be a ham for the camera. I, still, was amazed at how cool and collected he was. Then again, nobody had gotten close to him yet!

Wsg-6-2

Once we were done with the health history, Christy started chatting with Lucas and getting him excited about his teeth cleaning. He got to pick out a pair of sunglasses, they counted teeth, and then he got to pick out what kind of toothpaste he wanted (cookie dough…he IS his mama’s boy!).

Wsg-7-2

wsg-13

The only thing that Lucas wasn’t a huge fan of was the suction. He still let the hygienist do her thing (again, I was floored), but he made a few faces signaling he wasn’t really diggin’ it.

wsg-7

Since he didn’t really like the suction and water, the hygienist decided it would probably be best to skip the fluoride treatment, since he’d need those in his mouth for longer. She said that was totally normal and that he had done great, so I was fine with that.

Once he was done with his cleaning, we got to hang out for a few minutes before the dentist, Dr. Jen, came in. There are five dentists at the practice, but I’d already heard great things about her prior to going, so I was excited.

Wsg-18-2

At this point, I think he thought he was done, so he was a little taken aback by having to get back in the chair.

Wsg-16-2

But Dr. Jen was absolutely AWESOME with him, and the two of them got along just great.

Wsg-20-2

He let her count his teeth again and check for “sugar bugs.”

wsg-14

And I was thrilled to find out that there were no “sugar bugs” hiding out in those little teeth of his. Whew!

wsg-15

Dr. Jen chatted with me quickly afterward, just saying that everything looked great and that we had been doing a great job with him at home. It was really, so nice to hear that as a mom (who, at least half of the time, has to fight with him to actually brush his teeth twice a day!).

Wsg-11-2

Once he was all done, he got a “goody bag” complete with a new toothbrush, some floss, stickers, coins for the “prize” machines, as well as a raffle ticket to put in their gift card raffle drawing.

Wsg-13-2

We put our ticket in the Target pail, of course. Winking smile

Wsg-23-2

Because he did “so well,” Dr. Jen even gave him an extra coin so he could get two prizes out of the machines. Talk about a happy kid!

Wsg-26

Once he had has prizes, I sat down and quickly checked out with the office staff while Lucas played with his new mini toys.

wsg-22

I’m still just SO thrilled with how the entire appointment went at Where Smiles Grow, from start to finish. It was so easy, and they really go out of their way to make the kids feel comfortable.

Wsg-27

So for any of you who are local, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend checking out Where Smiles Grow (at Capital District Pediatric Dentistry)! They have offices in Latham and Delmar, and they have services for all ages; they even offer free complementary visits for kids up to 18 months!

Now, for any of you who are local or not, I have a great giveaway to offer today, courtesy of Where Smiles Grow!

They’re generously offering a FREE Philips Sonicare Electric Toothbrush to a lucky STSL reader (your choice of the children’s toothbrush, or an adult version!).

    I'd love the adult version. I"ll never forget my otherwise-mellow daughter absolutely LOSING HER MIND when she had to have her first oral x-ray taken. She was five, and I thought I would be able to reason with her, but it was quite the battle to get her to acquiesce. Now she and her siblings all take X-rays with no problems.....but I'll never forget the first time!

    I would love the adult version. It's funny because I love going to the dentist now, but as a child I would cry the whole time. I also have had the same hygienist my entire life, so I am afraid of the day I move far enough away from my hometown that I have to find a new one.

    I would love the kid version. My daughter is 2 1/2 and I plan on taking her for her first dentist trip this summer. I am nervous because she is not too adventurous when it comes to being out of her comfort zone but your experience has me having high hopes. It's a strong to get her to brush her teeth once a day! She's wiggly and at least the kid electric toothbrush would do a better job at getting teeth clean then me wrestling with her :)

    This sounds exactly like our first trip to the dentist. Holy cow, our kiddos are alike. My little girl is a ticket and a half when around people she knows but SO shy and anxious about new things. She did GREAT at the dentist, too. Just got a little teary when the dentist looked at her teeth. I think she thought she was done, too! :) We would LOVE to get a children's sonicate - we have them for my husband and I but I think it would really help out with keeping hers clean since it can be SUCH a struggle to brush properly!

    As a dental hygienist and a mom I love this post! A good experience is so important for kids when going to the dentist for the first time. Unfortunately a lot of bad experiences for kids are because they've heard their parents talking about their own fear of the dentist or due to a bad office not having the patience for children. So glad it went smoothly! He's so cute !

    This post came at the perfect time. My son is actually going to the dentist this afternoon! I'd love the kids' version. I have the adult one and my son is always asking if he can try it out on his teeth. "Um...no. I love you to pieces and I'll take your wet kisses any day and let you wipe your snotty nose on my shirt when you hug me....but I draw the line at sharing my toothbrush with you." Lol

    I would love the adult version. I don't remember this, but when I was 3, I threw up all over the dentist. I can't believe I did that!

    That is so cute! I wish I had that fun of a dentist office to go to when I was a kid :) A couple of years ago, I had 7 cavities filled at the same time (it had been a few years since I had visited the dentist--bad, bad idea)...I had so much going on at work at the time, so I hadn't taken the day off. I wasn't prepared for how numb my mouth would be AT ALL. I knew my teeth might be a little sensitive, so I had brought soup to eat for lunch. I took it out of the microwave and proceeded to sit down at my desk. First I tried eating the soup with a spoon. I couldn't feel my lips closing around the spoon and even though I thought I had reached my mouth, I quickly learned, as it spilled down my shirt, that I wasn't even close! So naturally, I decided to try and just "drink" my soup from the bowl. Another bad idea...I ended up pouring the entire bowl of (really hot!) soup down my top, pants, etc. It was a disaster. Let's just say that I now go to the dentist every six months! Haha.

    I'd love the kid one! I think getting used to an electric toothbrush would make my son more comfortable at the dentist's office. Glad it was such a positive experience!

    My daughter would love the kids' version! And I would love that it would probably do a better job than her trying to do it "all by myself" :) She'll be 3 next month and we're gearing her up for her first visit!

    i need an electric toothbrush in order to save my gums! I am a "hard brusher" which leads to receding gums....you would *think* it would be simple for me to just not brush so hard, but....some habits are hard to break!.I keep wanting to purchase myself an electric toothbrush, but haven't yet. I would love the adult electric toothbrush! Last time I went for a cleaning, I "lived wild" and chose a new flouride flavor---strawberry! And I like it! :)

    Ha! My "not so favorite" story about a trip to the dentist was when my daughter was a little older than Lucas, & the dentist asked her if she flossed regularly, & she said, "What's that?" Oops. :P

    I am glad he did so well! Connor has been twice now and he hated both times even though our dentist (like yours seems to be) is amazing. They let them watch movies and give them a coin for a prize. It is not a fun thing to do at any age but necessary! Good job Lucas and Courtney too. :)
