We went to the boys' semi-annual dental check-up today. I was feeling a bit tensed as W was quite reluctant to let the dentist have a look at his teeth. X came to the rescue when he willingly sat on the dentist's chair without even raising an eyebrow. This is a real encouragement to little brother.
W was peering through the dentist's shoulder throughout his brother's check-up, checking out any negative reaction from his brother whenever the dentist poke strange tools into his brother's mouth. X's cool demeanor really made W wanted to sit on the dentist's chair as well.
While the dentist brushed X's teeth and took out germs from his teeth, I keep telling W that we need the dentist to clean our teeth for us and take out any bad germs so that we can keep our teeth till we are old. Why am I not surprise that this round X need a filling on his teeth? It will be his first tooth filling ever.
As it turned out, W's teeth need not any filling or scaling. The dentist just need to use a cotton gauze to clean his two front teeth. Hope the scaling and filling will be a good lesson for the boys to take good care of their teeth from now onwards.
And just when I wanted to go for a snack after the dentist visit, the boys vow not to eat junk food (which is good) and any other food (horror of horrors!) other than the three main meals!!!! Am I going to far in encouraging them to take good care of their teeth??
