We took Olivia to the dentist a couple weeks ago. When they initially told me that we needed to start taking Olivia to the dentist as soon as she had teeth, I thought to myself "Wow, dentists must be feeling the sting of the economic downturn." My parents don't remember taking us to the dentist, nor do they remember brushing our teeth when we were babies. On the other hand, my parents spent a lot of money for fillings with our baby teeth.
What goes on at an 18 month old's dentist appointment? As I suspected, they did not scrape the tartar off her teeth or lecture her on flossing. It was pretty much a 4 minute appointment where the dentist counted her teeth then gave Spencer instructions on how to brush Olivia's teeth. Ka ching!
