we tried to prepare leanne in advance of the trip in the hope that the dentist could remove the stain from leanne's teeth.
mr s told little leanne two nights before the trip that auntie dentist would put something on leanne's teeth to zzzzzzzzerrrrrrrr....the night before the visit when mrs s told leanne that she would come home early the next day to bring leanne to auntie dentist. Leanne nodded her head and with her finger pointing like a toothbrush at her teeth, said she didn't want to zzzzzzzzzzerrrrrrrrr....that got mrs s a bit concerned.
nevertheless, mrs s took leanne to see auntie dentist yesterday. the pediatric dentist was very good. we started with a story with different animals and teeth and a toothbrush for leanne to play with it. leanne also got to hold onto the little tooth mirror to get used to it. finally, auntie dentist took the polishing tool and told leanne that she had to turn on the battery to make it work but it was soft and ran it on a few of leanne's finger tips to help reduce the fear factor. finally, with leanne lying on mrs s lap and mrs s holding onto leanne's hands, auntie dentist managed to remove the stains on her front teeth. leanne was still quite terrified at first but the little brave darling tolerated us for about 30 seconds before she started wailing. all these were done without us having to sit on the scary dental chair or the bright light shining at us.
little leanne and all, including auntie rolin, were very pleased with the result. when we ask leanne about her sparkies, she would give us a great smile!
however, it seems like leanne is indeed one of the unlucky ones with bacteria in her mouth and we will have to be very conscientious about her oral hygiene and the stains will keep coming back....we've also stopped using

first teeth toothpaste. it's not necessary to use it for her age.
