A Trip to the Dentist

Bix had her first visit to the dentist today.  She was very excited, and quite a good patient.  

She was ready to open wide and get to work.  When the hygienist counted Bix' teeth, we realized she is 2 shy of normal.  That is why there is such a big gap...

 

We had a little down-turn of emotion during the x-rays.  With the combination of the heavy apron and not being able to get the film in the right position, we finally settled with one shot.  (But we were able to see that she has the buds for all her adult teeth).

When it was time for the cleaning, Bix asked for some shades.

That light is seriously bright.

 Bix assisted by holding the vacuum.

When it was all over, she was all smiles.  (The promise of a new toothbrush and a toy from the Treasure Chest didn't hurt).
