K and Daddy had their third dentist visit this week... she loves the experience... Our fantastic doctor who has given us great advice on mom's groups and everything else produced an incredible dentist recommendation....
They sent K a book with her name printed in it about a year ago to prepare her for the visit.. I HATE the dentist and so I HATED having to read the book over and over, but I did....
Luckily T and I decided I would not be able to take K to the dentist as I would definitely influence her experience.... Anyway she loves it... on her most recent visit she came over with her new dora toothbrushes, stickers a perfect and cleaner smile.... but the most important thing... she didn't pick her standard stuffed animal from the toy basket... We now have a beautiful red sparkly ball. She even had to lift a stuffed animal to get to the ball and she still picked the ball. Fingers crossed this is a new trend. We have way too many stuffed animals in our life. Also, fingers crossed she continues to love the dentist. Luck is on our side as our dentist has two rocking horses so what more do we really need.

The more we teach our kids about how fantastic dentists are, the more they become sure that they should not fear them. Giving them fancy rewards like toothbrushes, dentist story books, tooth fairy wands, etc. can also drive them to do better in making their teeth strong and healthy.
