dentist=disaster
At least it did today. Abbie's first dentist visit. She was excited, we didn't make a big deal about it, didn't talk too much about it. We just said they would take some pictures with a special machine, that they would clean her teeth and that might tickle and then the dentist would touch them with a pointy thing and she wouldn't feel it at all. MAJOR MELT DOWN. I have no idea why, there were no shots involved at all. The dentist barely could look in there and finally said she looks good, I'm sure her teeth are fine, is this the form you need signed. You'd think she had a root canal. Her face was all red and blotchy, the little paper bib was SOAKED from tears. So we let the dentist sign the paper and left. No sticker, not treat from the box nada. And in the car she said ok, they can tickle my teeth now mommy. HA!

I just came across your sites from Crystal McKnob's. Our daughter is 14 months and we're, coincidentally, on a search for a new dentist because of insurance changes... It's really interesting how varied dental offices are in dealing with small children. Some won't see them until thay're three or four, others only refer them to peds dentists. However, several recommended bringing her with us to our appointments and just letting her sit on our laps to get acclimated to the whole process before it's her turn (whenever that'll be).
