This is the day, EZ’s official dental check up. Not E’s first since I once sent him to a dentist cause of a toothache. But that wasn’t counted since there wasn’t any check up done.
Z was really excited over it since 2 weeks ago when I announced the dental appointment. E, being VERY E, was freaky. But thank God, I didn’t need to drag his feet there. On the way there, except for the once a while sulk, he was pretty calm. I guess little Ms Z’s courage was contagious.

Process
(Erm, actually no photography and video taking is allowed. I didn’t know, and by the time I know, I have already snapped a few using my handphone 
)
The dentist and her assistant were very assuring and encouraging. Both EZ were very comfortable with them.
Before the checking, they let them wear a pair of sunglass. Guess its due to the dentist chair’s bright light.
During the check up, whenever she has to use an equipment, she explained and kept assuring them that it would not be painful. Even said something like ”I’m going to use this MacDonald’s straw to help you feel more comfortable.”
After – gave both stickers.
Verdict
The dentist is certainly very experience with little children and is able to anticipate and prevent the children from being fearful. Certainly thumbs up on this.
But I thought there should be certain degree of teaching on dental hygiene, which was not given. I wonder if it is because both EZ’s teeth were alright with no problem, which is why she didn’t go into that.
But overall, certainly happy with the visit. The plus point is, it is cheap. Our check up today cost $9 for each child. And, it can be paid using Baby Bonus’ account.
After the checkup
Pop over to “Health Zone” which is just next door after the appointment where the kiddos had fun exploring the exhibit. Just to make the trip all the way there worth while.
PS: Both their teeth are clean. Z did a polish and E needed a little scaling on his bottom from 2 teeth.
