I don't want to accuse them of anything, but their policies violate everything I've been taught on child protection.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210245334156318187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-77463589940464195842008-08-12T22:33:00.000-05:002008-08-12T22:33:00.000-05:00When Trina freaked at age 3ish about having to hav...When Trina freaked at age 3ish about having to have a cavity filled, I had a horrible experience at a "pediatric dentist". She came back from xrays with 4 fingertip size bruises on her face (shudder to remember). It's a longer story than that involving a VERY creepy dentist but I ended up thinking she'd have to be put on a velcro board or knocked out and have her tooth removed. My cousin works in a dental office and she suggested I go there. NO CRYING. The pediatric dentist there just let her stand there while he rolled up a little material, stuck it in the hole and asked if he could stick a stick in there to get a little off her tooth (like a toothbrush). Then, he told me that it was a temporary filling until she could stop freaking out by the chair, etc. and that in Vietnam, men would get those temp fillings and they would last for years and years. She got the perm. filling a couple years later after she'd been for lots of cleanings and had lost that fear. I don't know if this will help but I think you are a good mom with kids that have a RATIONAL fear of creepy dentists who want to hurt them.<BR/>HA.Laura The Crazy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904542599983127845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-22915648275735972742008-08-12T12:34:00.000-05:002008-08-12T12:34:00.000-05:00ooh - MM is THE SCARIEST!It's one of the many reas...ooh - MM is THE SCARIEST!<BR/><BR/>It's one of the many reasons I stopped watching movies!<BR/><BR/>Kids.
