It was XX's first visit to the dentist today. Hubby arranged to go for his dental check-up before him to show an example for him so he knows what to expect. XX was curious seeing his father on the dentist's chair and wearing sunglasses. He seems quite intrigued, so that was a good sign. My only worry was whether he will open his mouth when it's his turn.
When it was his turn, he eagerly sat down on the chair. He got sunglasses too and he laid down like he's sunbathing as the dentist moved the chair up and down to thrill him. Surprisingly, he had no problem at all opening his mouth to the dentist. He even closed it and bite his teeth when told! He doesn't even obey my instructions all the time to do that when I brush his teeth at night!
It was a relatively short and pleasant experience. The objective is to make the FIRST EXPERIENCE a positive one. No scaling and polishing, the dentist just did a check for him and the verdict is ALL'S CLEAR. Phew! No decay = Save Money!! Next check up is when he's four years old.
