Going To The Dentist...Finally!

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but today was Nolan's first dentist appointment.  I know!!! Pretty bad...almost 7-years-old and we finally took him.  :P It's one of those things that keeps getting put off.  Adam went in last week and I went in today as well.  I know that it's so important to keep good care of your teeth, so that's partly why I or Adam insist on still brushing Nolan's teeth every night after/before he does.  Can't afford cavities.  Well, I was just praying we hadn't blown it and Nolan would have at least not too many.  Guess what??? He has zero! Whew! I was also a little nervous that he would freak out in the dentist chair, not knowing what to expect and having a low tolerance for pain.  I was happy to hear that he did great.  The lady even said that he did better during the x-rays than any other 6-year-old she's seen.  Whew again! Don't worry, I plan on doing better next time.  Not waiting another 7 years.  Yikes, he'd be almost 14! I don't know if we could afford coming every 6 months like they want, but we'll try once a year.  Oh and no cavities for me either! At least not that were noticeable.  I'll have to go back after I'm not pregnant for x-rays to make sure.
