Tyler and Kaitlyn

I was able to see my niece and nephew on March 10. Tyler is 4 and Kaitlyn is 2 1/2. I planned on passing off my IA exam with Tyler and everything went well. When I got to Kaitlyn I didn't know how much she'd let me do since it was her first time in the dental chair. I gave her a ride in the chair, showed her Mr. Slurpy, squirted air and water at her sister to show her the air/water syringe, and she loved it all. She sat so good for me! She even had a little calculus behind her lower anteriors that I had to scrape off. I think the hardest part was polishing. She didn't care for the taste of the prophy paste and kept gagging on it so I'd have to stop and let her use Mr. Slurpy a lot. But what she liked the most was the disclosing agent. Her mom had been saying that she wanted her mouth to turn purple like I did with her sister. So when I disclosed her she started giggling even though it didn't taste very good. For a 2 1/2 yr old she did awesome!
