Today we headed down to Alpine Dental for Max's 1st dentist appointment. We had NO idea what to expect from Max. He is a very social little bug, however, he is also very stubborn. If he doesn't want something... or you to do someting to him... he'll let you know! Jeff was fabulous with Max. He went up and down for rides in the dental chair, focused and refocused the exam camera and loved having his teeth 'tickled' (notice in the picture Max made sure that his little hand was holding onto the tool, too!) Good news... no cavities, healthy teeth and one wild tongue! Children with Downs have a variety of dental problems, including missing teeth, delayed tooth eruption, and mis-shaped teeth. It looks like Max has MOST of his teeth... the 2 bottom central teeth next to his canines are not showing up, however, that won't be a problem for him, his very busy mouth and appetite.

I am sure the dentist needed Max's help with the tools! If only we all liked the dentist as much as Max!
