I'm sure this, and choosing a really good paediatric dental group, have helped.<br />Start them young!pomomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338550638937829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-57322163493093875602013-02-13T17:20:57.463-08:002013-02-13T17:20:57.463-08:00We didn't take Megan until she was 3.5 years o...We didn't take Megan until she was 3.5 years old and that was a simple "count the teeth, ride in the chair, get a toy and toothbrush" appointment. A year later we took her again and I was surprised that the hygienist did the full meal deal - polish, fluoride, brushing. No scaling of course:) We will probably not take Emily until she's at least three because I think we might have disaster trying any earlier, and we have no real dental concerns (yet)!!

Sprout doesn't mind being in the waiting room & doesn't have any fears of the doctors or nurses we've seen there. Just the dentist & hygienists. The hygienist & dentist weren't particularly bad with him, but they didn't really do anything special to get him used to the whole idea. Maybe next time I'll ask when I make the appointment if there's someone who's particularly good with little kids...Lisa Corriveauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528772139443165946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-5408892506270827632013-02-12T19:27:41.460-08:002013-02-12T19:27:41.460-08:00FWIW, we have started out by taking Em just to see...FWIW, we have started out by taking Em just to see a hygienist at a clinic where she's also had vaccines and well baby checkups. So it wasn't so unfamiliar and scary, and more like a regular doctor's office. It also helps, I think, that the hygienist LOVES little kids and she is really good at connecting with them, rather than chatting with me!CaroLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792689078893016910noreply@blogger.com
