A trip to the dentist

Biscuit has a really sweet dentist. He always takes the time to talk to the kids and find out what they've been up to lately. And the whole office is decorated with ocean-, sailing-, fish-themed pictures, stuffed animals and other stuff.

The kids get to pick out the color of the toothbrush they get to bring home, and they get to pick the flavor of the toothpaste they use on them in the office.

And if they get through with no cavities, they get to sign a paper cutout and put it on the No Cavities bulletin board. The paper cutouts are always seasonally themed.

One of the things Biscuit likes the best is that they have sunglasses for the kids to wear while they're shining that bright light in their faces.

Here's Biscuit while he was waiting on the dentist to come check out his teeth.

After Biscuit's appointment, the dentist told me it was time to get him checked out by an orthodontist. He wrote us a referral, and we'll be doing that sometime soon. I dread putting Biscuit through that, but he definitely needs it. His mouth is really small, and there's not enough room for all his teeth.

I hope the referred doctor is good and will give Biscuit the pretty smile he wants.
