We took Jasmine to her first dentist trip today. Since she`s never been there before, we didn`t want to do anything that may frighten her future visits there. The dentist was really nice. She showed Jasmine around, explained what the equipment was used for, let her touch some of the things. Jasmine was comfortable enough to let the dentist brush her teeth! That was an accomplishment.
There wasn`t enough time to do a check up so we had to schedule another appointment. While brushing Jasmine`s teeth, we noticed that one of the tooth on top right of the mouth, there seems to be a cavity or something so we wanted to check it out. When it was time to leave, Jasmine received a goody bag containing a kids tooth brush, a sticker and a toy.
Both Dr. Ng and Jasmine had such an enjoyable tour that a picture was taken and she asked to post their picture onto the dentist website.

Whoopee for her first dentist trip! How did the visit go? My daughter is almost two years old, and I'm thinking if I could take her to the dentist already. I hope she doesn't get scared once we go there!
My dentist actually suggested going in earlier rather than later, just so that the child can get used to the office and seeing the dentist, even when no work is needed yet. So that when she does need work done, she will be comfortable and not be scared. Good luck with your visit.
