Yesterday morning i actually booked all 3 of my children in for their yearly check up. It will be my 3 year olds first dentist appointment.
I took my children as youngsters too (aged 3/4). Just to ride in the dentist chair, feel the polishing brush on their fingernail, get some goodies and generally to just get them used to the fact that the dentist is not a scary person.
After that check ups twice a year, yearly sometimes depending on if the school dentist had been around.
It was our dentist who picked up that my daughters mouth was a bit overcrowded and that she may need a couple of molars removed and possibly braces.
Which she did a few years later on.
Their teeth are terrific.
I wish mine were. No fluoride in the water when I was a youngster. And now living in Qld, no fluoride here either.
