Jackson & Emerson had their first dentist appointments on March 13, 2012. Before the appointment, Emerson was saying she wouldn't be scared or cry and Jackson cried for 2 days before. On the actual day, Jackson was cool as a cucumber, but I had to sit with Emme in the chair and hold her arms & head while the hygienist cleaned & polished her teeth and then again while the dentist examined her. He gave a great report to both kids, commenting on how pretty their teeth were. He did say that Jackson had an under bite right now and that if his jaw didn't grow more by the time he was 11, he would probably need orthodontics. His x-rays looked good though, with all adult teeth visible. Emme didn't get x-rays at this visit, but the dentist said if all remained as is, he didn't think she would need orthodontics. Overall, I'd say the visit was a success! Both kids were stoked about their new toothbrushes & stickers.

Getting x-rays
The hygienist said to "give mom a thumbs up" but this Red Raider said "nuh-uh! How about a Guns Up!"
This boy was raised right!

This was the only picture I could get of Emme since I was restraining her the remainder of the time. Good grief!
