Dental Time (Not to Be Confused with Hammer Time)


Zane visited the dentist yesterday for his six-month checkup. The people at that pediatric office are so sweet with him and very accommodating to his needs. Once again, I had forgotten to take the camera with me. I wish I had. He looked so big reclining in the big chair.

Zane loved having his teeth cleaned and was extremely cooperative with the hygienist—until she got to the flossing part. He pursed his lips, turned his head, and tried to wiggle off the chair. The child may not speak a word, but he definitely knows how to communicate. It took some effort on the hygienist’s part, but she managed to floss all of his teeth. Eventually.

He went away cavity-free for the third time in a row. Even the dentist commented on his brilliant and winning smile. He definitely knows how to melt hearts and dazzle people with that beautiful grin!

  4. so cool that zane likes the dentist---really horrible memories with my special needs kids--yeah they--thank the Lord -never had any cavities--but they screamed and cried so much, that the poor dentist would always come out and apologize!
