Anyone had a child who was terrified of the dentist?
Posted by TheLibraMudraI have tried all of that. He is so stubborn he is so afraid he even turned down putting up our Christmas tree early. I will keep trying though. I might buy one of those at home dental kits to see if he will work on my teeth or his.
Talk to him about sugar bugs and let him see what sugarbug infested mouths look like. Aka yellow cavity yuckness.
Show him youtube cartoons and real life kids going to the dentist. The dentist makes your mouth squeeky clean. Read books about the dentist to him.
They give you free fun stuff!
Bribe him with somewhere fun before and after. His favorite treat.
Try playing pretend with him. My daughter when she was 3 would be afraid of the dentist until I got her one of them dolls that had a Dr set. Me and sometimes my son who was 3 years older then her would play with her. Took her to the Dr's or Dentists few more times, let her bring her doll with her. She finally learn to not to be so afraid anymore as she got older.

What do you do when you get sick? Especially if you get a lengthy illness such as a respiratory infection? I have trouble sleeping so this is what came into my mind.

I'm curious... I know my boss has blood sugar

He's on medication now, but today he's weirdly

I am actually so afraid of eating it. I just don't trust it. I think it must be the worst of the fast food chains out there. But they disguise it all with a big red haired clown, and donating to the less fortunate. I feel micky d's makes enough dollars to
