The big boys went for their dentist checkups last Thursday and did great. Theo has always been pretty easygoing about the hygienist and dentist rooting around in his mouth, but this time Beckett also went along and relaxed through the whole thing. I don't know if it helped that they were able to be in an open area, one on either side of a supply counter, and get their teeth cleaned more or less at the same time, or that the TV playing cartoons was on a wall instead of on the ceiling, or that the show (a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse of some sort) was particularly engaging. They didn't even mind that we didn't have much time to hang out in the waiting room to watch a movie in the cave (yes, they have a walk-in cave with a movie playing inside and a video monitor so parents can see what is going on inside) or play at the train table. All in all, a pretty perfect dentist visit!
