Today we took the kids into R to the dentist. I don't mind the drive or the extra cost of the pediatric dentistry as long as they don't hate the experience. Everyone's teeth look great, so that's good. M has a strong "gag reflex" and mom says I had the same when I was little. I always feel sick to my stomach after going to the dentist. The hygienist said that M had a bit of trouble because he was gagging and having to stop so much during the cleaning and fluoride, and then he got upset. I think for next year, I will prepare M to gargle with the fluoride rinse so he doesn't have to deal with those foam trays filled with goo. Maybe I will teach him to gargle using juice.
