New Dentist

So this moring we went for a regular check up for Andre' at a new dentist and it went great.

The dentist that he was previously seeing was great, but they didn't accept my insurance. Now when we first started going there, it was only $40 for a cleaning. That was less than 2 years ago. Now the price for a cleaning has gone up to $125. I just don't have that kind of money to be shelling out, just to look at a 2 and a half year olds set of teeth.

I had to wait until he had his tonsils out, and everything was all healed up before I scheduled another appointment anyway, so I started looking around.

I found one that is right around the corner from where I work and is in the same building that I used to go to the dentist in a few years ago.

It's a really clean place, and the people seemed nice. I'll admit, I was a little nervous, but this morning my mind was put at ease.

We were the only ones there when we arrived and went right back. The dental assistant was very nice and Andre' got a green toothbrush (which is his favorite color) so she scored points right off the bat. He was shy/standoffish at first like always, but then warmed up a little to her.

She told me that it is their goal to make the kids feel as at ease at possible, and not to put too much pressure on them. There are TV's in the rooms, so we put on a cartoon, and just became familiar with the place. She came back in and we talked a bit, of course he brought his dinosaurs in, so we checked their teeth with the mirror and even brushed them.

The dentist then came in and he was very nice as well. Andre' got scared when Dr. Comeaux put the gloves on, cause he thought it was going to hurt. But all he did was look in his mouth, check top, bottom, front and back, and said that every thing looked great, and there were no cavities.

GO US!! I am weird about teeth. I, myself have never had a cavity, and I will do whatever I can to make sure Andre' has healthy teeth. We are off to a good start, and will keep it up.
