Dentist Visit

Em had her dentist visit for her 6 month checkup on Thursday.  I'm not sure what has happened recently that has caused her to hate brushing her teeth, but it's literally a battle every morning with her--nights are a little better, but I usually end up holding her arms down and forcing the toothbrush in.  Because of that, I was a little worried that we weren't getting them clean enough, but the dentist said her teeth looked great.

Em didn't cooperate for a cleaning, but did lean back and open her mouth for the little mirror, so the dentist got a good look at them and brushed some flouride on.

On the bright side, we switched dentists to Bird Pediatric Dentistry, primarily because I wanted her to have an in-network dentist for our insurance, but also because I found a lot of outstanding ratings on Angie's List.  Em had a blast in the waiting room, and liked Dr. Bird.  I'm hoping this anxiety about oral hygiene is just a phase, because that's a non-negotiable for Mommy :).
