... thanks so much ladies , yeh i so don't feel comfortable about springing it on her ... it would be out of character of me too so i think that could possibly upset her.

Kim, i reckon she overheard DP say something about the Dentist and needles ages ago as he has a fear of the Dentist purely cause of the needles ... but great end to that story he ended up going to the Dentist a couple of months ago and they knew of his fear (i warned them) so they gave him gas ... so his fear is no more, when he came home i made a big deal to DD how wonderful Daddy went to the Dentist and she said to him " Oh, Daddy i'm so PROUD "

I often tell DD that her teeth are beautiful and that one day the Dentist would love to see them which she seems ' kind of OK with ' (?? )

Maybe i should tell DD tomorrow we are BOTH going to the Dentist on Wed (the next day) to show the Dentist our beautiful teeth and she (Dentist) would love to see them as she has heard about how wonderful our teeth are ......... DO YOU LADIES THINK THAT WILL WORK ?????

Thanks again for your help
