Gage's First Dental Visit!

My Dad retired from being a "full-time" dentist the end of May and since we were moving I decided that although Gage wasn't even two and a half yet we better get him to the dentist so that he could have his first dental visit with Grandpa Mangum. He did sooo good. Carter had his cleaning and exam first and Gage is always so excited to get to do the big boy things Carter does. All during Carter's cleaning he kept asking, "My turn now? My turn now?" He was ecstatic when it was his turn and climbed up in the chair and opened wide! Grandpa even let Carter be his assistant and work the suction. After Carter got Gage's tongue a few times we decided that maybe Gage had suffered enough torture for one day. Hopefully they'll be just as excited to go to the dentist when it's Uncle Brett!

"Gage look how EASY this is!"

Balloon animals at the end of a dental visit are a MUST!

Is that wide enough??

This is a piece of cake...

"When I grow up I'm going to be a dentist... that is after I'm a paleontologist and a veterinarian." (This was right before he almost sucked Gage's tongue out of his mouth.)

What memories?!! I went to your dad for as long as I can remeber and Collin's first visit was with him too. Now they visit Uncle Jeff and I love having a brother-in-law that is a dentist. Good for your kids.
