Anyway, now that my son is fifteen, he is much braver than me. In fact, it was him who insisted that both of us go to the dentist to get our teeth checked and cavities filled. So, both of us were at the dentist. We prodded each other to go first. I actually prefer to get my teeth done first because I hate sitting there at the cold clinic in my children dentist and listen to those drills.

So, parents, if you want to ease the nerves of your children at the children dentist, do stay away from them if you get tensed and nervous. Your child will sense it and it will make them even more afraid of children dentist. Of course, if you have a spouse to deal with the task, then, you can afford to do so.

I overheard the dentist asked the little boy if he wants an injection to avoid pain during drilling but the little boy said he doesn’t need it. Oh wow, is he special or what? Then, the dentist started drilling and I could hear him whimpering a few times. The boy’s mom and the dentist again asked the boy if he wants injection and he proudly and bravely said he didn’t want it.

I am not sure if the word injection scared him enough to withstand the pain or what. Personally, I have never taken my children to see a dentist. I have dentist phobia so I normally leave the task to my hubby. He is one cool cat and is better at consoling my child. Otherwise, I will rub off my frayed nerves on my son and that is not helping at all.

So, do you see a pediatric dentist or do you just go to any dentist for your child’s dental check-up? Do you know any good children dentist around?
