My son has been going to the dentist since he turned three years
old. We started off with him accompanying mom and dad for their cleanings {hanging
out in the waiting room} and then worked our way up to him watching us in the
chair. He had a very smooth transition from simply watching, to being the one that
is examined and cleaned. Now he insists on going first when we have our dental
appointments!
This kid has no fear. He hopped right up in the chair and opened his mouth ready to rock and roll. He listened and followed directions so well that as a reward for his phenomenal behavior at the dentist I took him out for hot cocoa once we were done.

I mean really - look how happy he is to be getting his teeth
cleaned!
Do your kids go to the dentist? How do they handle it?
