My kids haven't been to the dentist is a while. I know they are due for checkups, but with the hours I work, it's hard finding the time to take them. It too me a long time to find the perfect dentist for my kids, and I finally did find a great Pediatric Dentist, who just so happens to be about 45 minutes away from where we now live.
A friend of mine just had a horrible experience taking her daughter to the dentist. The dentist actually put her hand over my friend's daughter's mouth and told her to stop screaming or she wouldn't get her mom, who they insisted wait in the waiting room. I made sure before choosing my kids dentist that I was allowed in the room with them, which I think is important. It is also important to make sure your kids see a dentist before their first birthday. The older the child is seeing the dentist for the first time, the more likely they are to need extensive repairs an emergency visits, which can get really expensive. Preventative care is the way to go. If only I could follow my own advice and find the time to get my kids to their yearly checkup.
