A guy in our stake is a pediatric dentist and we thought, since we were looking for a new dentist here in Austin, that we'd give him a try. We were very happy with that choice. We love Dr. Collins. Check out the waiting room!

Video games, movable marble track, movies, prize vending machines and much more!

Michael got his x-rays in "The Portrait Studio."

Yeah, bite wings. I sure hated those things as a kid. You can see Elle was an eager spectator. She didn't get her "portrait" taken this visit. 

We were glad to see Michael's x-rays. He has been grinding his teeth quite a bit and has some serious wear and tear on them. He's even developed the beginnings of tiny cavities between all four sets of molars. He has been a diligent toothbrusher, but I guess it's time to step up our game and develop better flossing skills.

Hunter got to wear rockin' sunglasses while she got her teeth cleaned. Hunter can't help being cool everywhere she goes. Yes, even the dentist office. NO Cavities! YeeHA! The hygienist and dentist were both very proud of Hunter's clean teeth.

Elle wore superfly sunglasses too. Hers had flowers all over them - just like her shirt and shorts. She's so stylish.

See her hygienist's pink gloves?? They are CHERRY flavored! When the dentists checks the kids' teeth, he wears one cherry-flavored glove and one dreamcicle-flavored glove. What new flavor would that combo be? They also had vanilla-flavored gloves.  I had no idea anything like that even existed. After our visit, we got a special VIP tour of the entire office and each kid got a glove of their own to savor.

Her hygienist taught how to "kiss" the suction tube during her cleaning to clear out the extra spit. She giggled every time she did it. She was quite a kisser! AND, no cavities!
