We went to a regular dentist (the same dentist that did his tongue/lip tie surgery at 10 weeks old. He was fine until the hygienist put a mask on and then he freaked out. The treasure box wouldn't even entice him...he kept looking at the staff like they were up to something. We will likely not go back until he's around 3 or 4.

So seriously - DONT feel bad. He checked out PERFECTLY & if we're being honest here, I'm a total slack parent on brushing. UGH. We've gotten better though because I would feel totes responsible if he had to get a filling. He doesn't go to a child-specific dentist - I have (had) HUGE dentist anxiety but finally found one that I loved that is just a family dentist - so that's where he goes as well!<br /><br />I'd also LOVE to know your budgeting method. It's always nice to see what others are doing & what's working for them in that area! Cause I'm just about as bad at budgeting as I am at kid teeth brushing! <br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902369992843446620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-29012813490923096462013-10-22T15:02:42.951-04:002013-10-22T15:02:42.951-04:00If your appointment is at "My Kidz Dentist&qu...If your appointment is at "My Kidz Dentist" in Newnan, CHANGE IT! Horrible first experience for Madison there. Long story I can tell you later...but we took Madison at 3 and we have took Kendall at about 18 months.

AND he used to be a clown! (not the scary kind... I keep telling myself.) and is just a super nice great guy, and all the hygienists in his office have always been just the nicest too.<br /><br />I feel like it was a good balance because there were many kid-friendly things (like getting to play Game Boy or that infuriating little water-ring-game [anyone know what I'm talking about? ...anyone?] while getting fluoride on your teeth, or getting your picture taken with a Polaroid and stuck up on the "wall of kid patients" so you could see everyone growing up) but also it wasn't a pediatric dentist so it was nice knowing my mom went there too and everything, and I never had to STOP going there. actually I would still be going there except now I live 700 miles from St. Paul and my family... sad face :(Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974119137861459963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-30656752853306193682013-10-22T13:22:23.210-04:002013-10-22T13:22:23.210-04:00We went at 12 months and 18 months.

She had already been as an infant for oral surgery and they had iPads and toys.

I have an old Dave Ramsey inspired sheet that I have modified to suit my means but I am always curious how other people do this. Would you be willing to share with made up numbers or blacked out numbers?Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410869904854473957noreply@blogger.com
