I don't know when going to the dentist became such a cool thing to do, but Dr. Grilli's office (and the entire experience) was aweseome! Prior to Nate's visit, the staff sent a book about going to the dentist with Nate's name in it 19 times! He loves that. It explained what a dentist is and what to expect during the visit. It also had pictures of the actual office and the dentist (very cool marketing idea).
Once we got there, the staff was incredibly nice and the waiting room was tons of fun.
The assistant that led us back introduced Nathaniel to a horse puppet with teeth and let Nate brush the horse's teeth with a giant toothbrush.
Dr. Grilli came in to check out Nate's teeth and let Nate put on gloves - just like the dentist. Nate thought that was the coolest thing ever.
Nate was a very good patient while Dr. Grilli examined him. Apparently we have 4 more baby teeth that need to grow in - which will probably happen soon
There was a seperate fun room to wait in while they took care of paperwork. Complete with a treasure chest where Nate got to pick out 2 prizes. He selected 2 rattles, one for him and one for Baby 'Rissa (what a sweet boy).
So we highly recommend Dr. Grilli as a pediatric dentist, if you are in the area and looking for one!
