okay i am hopeless myself with the dentist lol

anyway i finally went and got a check up when my son was around 3 yrs old, i spoke to the nurse first and asked if he could ride in the chair etc - told him that morning mummy and jay were going to the dentist and he was going to have a ride in a special chair and then the dentist was going to count his teeth. well he came in with me and i went on the chair the dentist (who i have been going to since i was 5 omg he should be retired by now lol) was fantastic he asked jay if he wanted to hop on and jay flatly refused so we didn't push it and my mum took him into the waiting room whilst i got my filling done and teeth cleaned. he was fine with all this.

i then took him again when he was 4 and this time he sat in the chair and let the dentist count his teeth and he got a sticker and a toothbrush - it was a good experience for all of us.

apparently in vic for anyone that wants to check it out, pre schools have a free dental program, i don't know much about it as i haven't heard this year but my g/friend told me about it last year so it might also be worth asking around pre schools if they have some sort of dental program run through councils etc.
