Visit to the tooth doctor

I've been to the tooth doctor, or the dentist as he is called many times with mami. She puts on a pair of big green glasses and sits back on a chair and the doctor shines a light on her face and then picks at her teeth. It really scares me and I cry every time they try to touch her teeth.

I never like watching, but I have no choice but to go with her. But mami says that taking care of our teeth is very important. We try to brush together, but I just like to play with the water!

Way back when I was around 14 months I had a little accident at Westfields and I fell and broke a tooth. Yes, I broke a piece of my front tooth and I only have a half of one! Mami had to take me to the dentist for a checkup. Luckily the pain went away and my mouth is okay.

When we were at the dentist, he recommended I have a check up every 6 months, and today was the day!

After a morning out at Build-A-Bear in Covent Garden with other bloggers, we jumped on the tube and headed over for my appointment.

I sat in the big chair where mami usually sits and the doctor looked into my mouth and touched my teeth. I sat very, very still because I wanted to make sure I got a good checkup.

Waiting for my checkup!

And guess what? He said my teeth "were looking good" and I got a sticker!!

He gave mami and me a few tips to care for my teeth:

• Even if I don't brush my teeth exactly like mami, I should keep trying - No problem! I love playing with the brush
• Try to avoid sugary treats - not sure about this one!
• Mix juice with water to reduce sugar - mami already does this!

It is very important to take care of your teeth. You can read more on what the NHS says about Kid's Dental Health - there are some great tips, so check them out.

Okay, I'm off to brush my teeth then to bed!
