Hello,
My daughter is terrified of the dentist. He once drilled her tooth and she bite him in his finger! This was so embarrassing. I check her teeth and I am very strict on brushing teeth, but hasn’t been to dentists more than a year. She says she rather loose all her teeth than visit dentist again. What should I do?
Huh,
This problem is more psychological nature…try to talk to her or make her friends persuade her, if she won’t talk to you. Another option is psychologist or therapist. Or wait till she gets unbearable pain in one of her teeth and she’ll beg you to take her to the doctor.
