Jacob's First Trip to the Dentist

Before heading back to work I have been trying to get some things out of the way. One item on the agenda was Jacob's first visit to the dentist. As much as we love our regular dentist we wanted to take Jacob to somebody who specialized in pediatric dentistry and had a fun atmosphere. Right here in Eastlake we found an office that has everything a kid could want! They have a playroom full of dress-up clothes, books, blocks, video games, and movies. Even the actual dental rooms are decorated for kids and have televisions on the ceiling. Needless to say all of that plus the stickers, prizes, free toothbrush and more made Jacob's check-up a success. While we were there we received some good news and some bad. The good news is that his teeth are well taken care of and very clean. Mom and Dad will be patting ourselves on the back for that one! Unfortunately Jacob fell when he was learning to walk and chipped one of his front teeth. Surprisingly the tooth with the chip is fine but the other front tooth has a fracture in the root that we weren't aware of. While it seems to be okay now it will probably fall out much sooner than it is supposed to. We will keep an eye on it and one day Jacob's picture will show up on the blog with one tooth missing. I am very proud of how great Jacob did especially since I'm not too fond of the dentist myself!

Jacob was very happy to show off his smile.

Open wide!

Getting ready for x-rays.
