A Visit To The Dentist

Last month, I scheduled my daughter, Keisha, for a visit to her new pediatric dentist. I transferred her to a different one since her first dentist’s clinic was far from our place. Compared to her last dental appointment, my daughter was now braver. She didn’t cry and she responded very well with the questions thrown to her regarding her oral hygiene.

For first-time moms, it’s important that you bring your kids to pediatric dentists (those who specialize in children’s dental hygiene) since they have their own ways on how to conduct dental procedures without traumatizing the kid.

I had her teeth cleaned and the dentist suggested for a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural mineral that makes the teeth strong and helps prevent cavities. The fluoride treatment was done in almost 5 minutes. We were advised not to let Keisha eat or drink within 30 minutes after the treatment.

With our entire visit, Keisha was relaxed but very observant while seated on the dental chair. I saw in her eyes the curiosity  and excitement at the same time.

After our dental appointment, she wanted to go to the mall and play but, we had to rush home right away since I need to catch up with marmot sale online and check the items at a discounted price.

    It's very important that our kids get acquainted with Dentist at a very early age. Glad to know she's brave now.
