DD and I had our checkups this week, back-to-back, while school was out. I figured, like last time, I'd go first and set a good example. Last time, DD didn't have a cleaning or scraping, she just sat in the chair, had her teeth counted, instructions on brushing, and received a toothbrush.

This time, she was due for her first cleaning. She did very well last time, so I was hopeful, and I wasn't disappointed. She insisted on being first! She has healthy teeth, and cooperated with a little scraping and the polishing. Wonderful!
