Dentist appointment went better than expected!

My 5yo had her first real dental cleaning today and I was SO anxious about it. She gets nervous about new stuff. But the hygienist was amazing - explained everything, let her sit with her stuffy during the cleaning, made it super low-pressure. She walked out like she was a dentist now. Huge relief because I was picturing a battle but it was actually smooth. If anyone in the Portland area needs a pediatric dentist, the one in Lake Oswego is legit great with anxious kids.
