The Dental Assistant

This is the way to visit the dentist...my kids went for cleanings yesterday and our awesome dentist, Dr. G. let the kids have a bit of fun while he took care of their teeth.  Becca and Dylan were his assistants for the visit and when Dylan learned he had a cavity and endured a huge needle, drill and numb lip, he got to pick out five toys from the treasure chest.  

Funny, but when I used to go to the dentist as a kid, they had to strap me down to the chair in a strait jacket - no joke - they actually did that to me once when I didn't want to endure yet another painful drilling experience. Lucky for my kids, they've got a dentist who knows exactly how to keep them occupied and happy while taking care of business.
