Most people dislike going to the dentist.  I'm one of few who actually like going to the dentist.  I have the same dental hygienist, Lacy, every time I visit.  She is friendly and makes my cleanings a breeze.  I had told Lacy about my cookies when I visited last fall.  I decided to make some cookies for her as gift for being so awesome. 

I first made some dental related cookies two years ago when I made these braces cookies.  Dental themed cookies are not a big request.  Surprising, I don't own any dental cookie cutters for that reason.  If you want to get some dental cookie cutters, here is a great set.  All of these cookies were hand-cut with shapes I found for my Silhouette Portrait (except for the mouth and rectangle).  The teeth can be found here.  It's hard to tell in my photo, but I added a pearl air brush sheen to teeth.  I applied that after the icing had dried.  The toothbrush, toothpaste and floss are from here.  On the toothpaste and floss, I started icing the grey sections first and then moving to the white and finally  adding the green details.  The floss is not my favorite and I would definitely tweak if I ever make dental cookies again.  On the toothbrush, I added some green sanding sugar to achieve that toothpaste look.  The dental tools can be found here and the cutter I used was this one.
