Can we be done yet?!

KIDS KIDS KIDS!! I saw the two cutest little "grandpa" boys today for clinic! These two little boys I already knew and they were super excited to get their teeth cleaned....well there mom was! Ü I say "grandpa kids" because they are so so TINY!!! There mom dresses them up in the cutest sweaters, cardigans, cordiroys (not sure on spelling). They just are so darn cute!!! The oldest boy is 4 and the youngest is 2. Lets just say seeing kids is a WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME!! You arent so much worried about getting your instrument straight or if your gingival descriptors are right or not!! All you are worried about is having them open up long enough for you to brush their tiny baby teeth!! Oh...and trying not to get bit!
Hudson was my first patient and he was so perfect! He held his mouth open so I could clean off the little calculus and plaque he had, and then he became a little irritable. I was like "child, I barely have begun! Chill for one second." So I thought to myself, if I was a kid, what would I want to play with. So then my little brain was a workin. I looked around got my big hand mirror and had him play with it! Well he is 4 and so holding the mirror ended up putting it up to his face so close, I could not even get to his mouth!! So I was onto the next plan...plan c....I looked around again and guess what....I SAW THE WATER SYRINGE!! Everyone loves water, especially little guys who love to drink out of cool things!! So I told him if he would let me look in his big dinosaur mouth and see his big "rectangle teeth" (that is what he told me they looked like after he saw them in the big mirror) he could get a drink of water from the fountain!!! HIS EYES LIT UP!!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! I was able to look in and finish my scaling, then he looked up at me with his tiny big eyes and said, "candice,....can we be done?!" I felt so bad, (keep in mind it had only been like fifteen minutes, silly boy! But to a little kid its seems eternity!) but i wanted to polish to be safe, I got everything!!
So I told Huddy, "Do you want me to make your teeth tickle?!!!" What?!! Candice what just came out of your mouth?!! Your teeth to tickle?!! What the...! Ok ok, lets be honest that is the first dang thing that came to my head!! And guess what....IT WORKED!! DONT JUDGE, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT...YOUR GONNA WANT TO USE IT TOO!!!
Lets just say Huddy was THRILLED, ECSTATIC!! So mission #2...a.c.c.o.m.p.l.i.s.h.e.d.
He was so so good and yes we finished him and yes he was spick and span!!
NEXT UP....NASHY BOY!!
Well I saved him for last because I knew he was gonna be a rebel!! He sat up in the chair so perfect, and we went for a little ride...yep you guessed it....UP AND DOWN!! He just sat there so still with this smile on his face and enjoyed the ride!! Makes me laugh just to think about it!! Anyways, he wanted his lightning mcqueen toothbrush because hudson got one too so I opened it and asked him to brush for me!! He put it in his mouth touched two teeth and then handed it back to me!! hahahaha He was donzo!! So I tried, and guess what...I got no wheres!! So I decided to use my fingers to pry open his mouth....BAD IDEA!! He opened and right as soon as I got my pointer finger in his baby mouth....BAM!! HE CLUNCHES DOWN AND STARTS TO GRIND!!
OUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!! MAN ALIVE THAT KID HAS SOME CHOMPERS!!! I pulled (i mean I literally...pulled) my fingers out of the JAWS OF LIFE!! He was good the rest of the time, but man was that the quickest appointment ever!! I finished though!! 2 kids booyah!!!
sorry so so long, enjoy this fun story!!! Clinic is fun, full of memorable moments!! Chao!
