Look, Ma, No Cavities!




The boys got a clean bill of health at the dentist today!

 Matthew was perfect -- he let them look at his teeth, brush his teeth with the "motorcycle toothbrush", use Mr. Thirsty to clean off the toothpaste, and paint his teeth with flouride.  (He did get to play with Mr. Thirsty, too, but he wasn't quite as obsessed with it as last time!)

James was great up until the point when they actually wanted him to open his mouth.  :)  Mike had to hold him a bit for the dentist to do her exam and put on the flouride, but as soon as it was done, he was back to being happy again.  At his previous visit, they had seen a bit of gingivitis, which has now cleared up -- that's a relief.

They got balloons, but only filled with air -- the hygenist told us that there was a nationwide helium shortage.  (Who knew?)  The boys also got Dora stickers, so they didn't seem bothered about not having helium balloons.
