Carter visits the dentist

Now that Carter is two and getting his last few baby teeth, it was time for us to take him to the dentist. But not just any dentist - it was Dr. Zummo - the same dentist I went to when I was his age. And the place still looks the same. Lots of painted Toothbrush Cowboys riding horses on the walls, and plenty of toys in the waiting room. There was even a Galaga video game in the waiting room - maybe Brian will want to go next time :)

Carter did wonderful at his visit. The hygenist really cleaned his teeth and gave him a goody bag with a Lightening McQueen toothbrush. He just sat there while she scrubbed away. She even flossed his teeth and he didn't even move. I asked her if I could bring him in every day - but that would get quite expensive ...

We did get a good news/bad news report though. Good news was that he has very strong enamel on his teeth which should help prevent cavaties, of which he had none (yeah Carter). BUT - the bad news was that he has pretty small mouth. Which means his teeth will eventually run out of room and need braces around 11 or 12 to correct overcrowding. So better start saving!!

Carter was actually excited to go the dentist this morning. He was running around the house dancing and yelling, "Dr Zummo - TEETH." I pulled out the video camera, and of course, he stopped. But I did get a little vide of telling me who is dentist is. He gets a little camera shy and forgets what he was doing 5 seconds prior. But you get the jist.
