I Need to Go to the Dentist - An Ainsley Toonsley Adventure

“Mommy I need to go to the dentist” said Ainsley Toonsley one day.

“Why? Do your teeth hurt?” Her mommy wanted to know.

“Oh no mommy I just want my teeth to be sparkly clean.”

And so mommy made an appointment for Ainsley Toonsley to go to the dentist.

And when the day came, Ainsley decided that perhaps she didn’t want to go to the dentist. “I don’t think I will like it so much.” she said.

But mommy made the appointment and it was decided that she would go. She would have to be very brave, but if she was then she would get many treats. Melody, her big sister told her that is what happened when she went to the dentist.

Mommy checked in and they waited in the waiting room. Ainsley was getting a bit nervous. Mommy asked her if her tummy hurt and for some reason asked if she had butterflies in her stomach. Ainsley said she was a little nervous…”why?” asked mommy. And she said it was because she was worried about butterflies in her stomach. “I see” said mommy with a smile.

Then the lady in the white coat called Ainsley’s name and she even said that mommy could come back too.

When they got back Ainsley saw funny looking chairs that looked more like beds. She was told to lay down so the doctor could look at her teeth, but Ainsley didn’t think that was a good idea.

So the lady in the white coat told her all about the instruments instead. One was a poky stick that would just tickle her teeth a bit, another was a squirt gun to put water in her mouth and then Mr. Thirsty the vacuum cleaner to take the water out. She got to pick out her favorite flavor of toothpaste – bubble gum and if she was really good she would get 2 treats from the treasure box!

Ainsley still didn’t know about laying down on the bed chair. She was still a little nervous…not about butterflies, but about what the dentist wanted to do to her teeth.

Finally the dentist came and she was very nice. She told her she could lean back on mommy while she counted her teeth if she’d like…and so she did.

20 teeth the dentist counted. 20 perfect teeth with no cavities. And then it was time for the cleaning. The cleaning would make her teeth nice and clean. She would have sparkly princess teeth if she let them do the cleaning and that sounded pretty fun so Ainsley decided that would be ok.

And after her teeth were sparkly clean she got to pick, not 2 but 3 treats from the treasure box.! She must have been very good because she got star glasses, a notebook and stickers from the treasure box and a pink balloon and t-shirt too! Even better, Ainsley got a certificate and ribbon that said she had NO CAVITIES. It was wayyyy cool!

Ainsley showed off her prizes to Melody when she came home and showed her daddy her sparkly princess teeth. She even told grandma all about her dentist visit when she talked to her on the phone.

Ainsley Toonsley loved her trip to the dentist and thinks that maybe she should go again tomorrow.
