The Dentist from the Black Lagoon

Okay, so I'm remembering a kids book we have that talks about how most kids freak out when they have to go to the Dentist! The Dentist is going to pull out all their teeth, give them root canals, and give them gas! In actuality it's pretty fun and painless.
Eliza had her first trip to the Dentist last week! She did pretty well. She did fuss and cry most of the time the Dentist was cleaning her teeth. I figured out later that it tickled her and she hates that! She acts the same way when we try and clip or paint her toenails! She freaks out!
The dentist we go to is amazing. It's a pediatric dentist and they are great with kids. They let them pick out a toothbrush first and the flavor they want for the cleaning. They only do as much as the child allow so that the experience is positive. Eliza loves the prize basket and token tower!
