Who likes the dentist? My son!

We went to the dentist last week, and I can't say enough about him. Dr. Gerry is the best! We've been going since Jacob was around 18 months, but Dr. Gerry suggests that children see him by their first birthday.

The waiting room is THE most kid-friendly one I've ever seen (my husband likes it too). And then there is the room. Nemo went nuts in there. Kids have lots to look at (ie: distractions) while they lay in your lap. Dr. Gerry is in and out of the mouth so quickly, and yet has a good grasp on what is going on in there. When I asked about the staining on Jacob's front teeth, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was from all the broccoli I gave him when his teeth were developing. (Ah, the guilt that I was able to let go of!)

Dr. Gerry is all about preventative dental health. The last thing he wants to see is a 3 year old that needs a general anesthetic to have a cavity filled. He's very good about letting you know what to do (complete with various tricks so that you can ACTUALLY do it), what to avoid, and what to look for. And all without being too preachy!

I highly recommend going in for a visit!
