Hi! Welcome back! Now the hygienist will move so that they are sitting behind your ears.
The hygienist’s hands will come around your head like a hug.
Now the dentist or hygienist will touch your cheeks and your lips with their gloves and ask you to smile.
Then you’ll be asked to open your mouth wide like a roaring lion.
Now, the dentist or hygienist can look in your mouth!
While your mouth is open big, the dentist or hygienist will put two fingers in your mouth and move your lips and cheeks.
The back of your mouth is very dark and hard to see, so the dentist or hygienist may use a little mirror to see your back teeth. They might ask you to roar like a lion.
They may ask you to stick our your tongue and use a little tongue towel to hold on to your tongue so that they can move it back and forth.
You did a great job and now the dentist knows what your teeth look like!
Congratulations!
