Ben's First Teeth Cleaning

Last Thursday Ben had his first cleaning with Dr. Val. While this was not his first trip to the dentist (we have had many since Ben's tooth trauma) this was his first real teeth cleaning!



Ben was not at all fooled by the alligator or 'Mr. Tickles' the brush. With a jolly "No thank you" from Ben on several occasions and a lot of patience & kindness from the hygienist we were able to get Ben to cooperate through the procedure.



Ben ended his appointment with bragging rights to Dr. Val that he had '"pooped on the potty today" (negative) and then demanded a coin for the toy machine for "being such a good boy". In the end it was a success and Ben is looking forward to his next appointment!!

  1. Look at Ben. He looks so comfortable and I like how he smiles. Great smile Ben. Well, I remember the first time I took my daughter to the dentist. Sevierville, TN are just fortunate to have such friendly oral care specialist to assist us with our dental care. What’s more, the Sevierville dentist that was assigned to my little girl is so patient and he made it possible for my daughter to cooperate. Well, thankfully she did have a fabulous time at the clinic and she even promised her dentist that she'll take good care of her teeth. Thanks for sharing Ben's first teeth cleaning experience. Maybe I need to start blogging, so that I may share with you guys my daughter's photos and experience. Thanks again.
