I took Lily yesterday and she loved it! I think she was impressed because she got a sticker at the end but she has not stopped going on about it and keeps showing people her teeth in shops etc

Aww that is so sweet!

Aimee has been twice. I thought last time (couple of months ago) she would hate it but was so good. She got a sticker too but decided she wanted to stick it to the carpet in the waiting room x

awww bless her, Chloe's been quite a few times, but only because Matts mum is a dental nurse, unfortunately every time she's refused to open her mouth
the last time she went a few weeks back she said no and called the dentist a bugger, oops

PMSL!!! How funny!!!

Lily never lets me look at her teeth so i was shocked that she was so cooperative!

she's turned into a right little monkey, lol I thought she'd be ok with the dentist as her nanny works there and is there to reassure her, but she's so stubborn, she'll quite happily show me her teeth, but won't co-operate at all there

evans been a few times i always jst take him with me when im goin for my check ups but he very rarely co operates!!

Oh nice to see some kids like it! Me and caitlin are going on wed, her 1st time (is that bad at 20 months? )

I know for sure il need a filling or two as sore around cpl of old fillings from childhood. I hope she co-operates & at least lets the dentist have a peek.

Do you ladies go on your own? Iv booked a double appointment for us and got my mum to come with us, I didnt know how id manage in the chair with her running about. Maybe there's a toy box though.....

I take Wil with me and last time I registered him in his own right.

He also refuses to cooperate but still accepts the sticker

Im am dreading taking callum to the dentist hes a nihtmare for everything else x

Seb has been since 9 months - I'm convinced that they want to see toddlers at his surgery cos the NHS give them the fee for a 2 min appt. I registered Seb with the dental surgery OH uses cos OH goes downstairs (my dentist is near work and up 2 flights of stairs) but of course Seb sees a different dentist who is upstairs - however he is nice, and is a native English speaker (not that I have anything against anyone who isn't, but neither OH nor I can understand our own dentists).

So yesterday I parked pram downstairs, queued at desk and sign bit of paper multiple times, loaded Anna into front carrier, managed to get Seb to upstairs waiting room, tried to control him for 25 minutes as they were running late (dental nurse came to see what was going on, brought sticker, and found out how much longer we'd have to wait). Seb wasn't particularly co-operative for dentist but I couldn't really see what was going on as he was perched on my lap in front of Anna and Anna (still in front carrier) was screaming. Another sticker was provided but he wasn't really that interested. Then I had to encourage him back down the stairs and queue up at the desk again to hand over some bit of paper.

By the time I got to playgroup at 10:10am I felt exhausted...

Amelia hasn't been to the dentist and I haven't registered her either, but before anyone calls social services, her grandma is a dentist

Iv taken her to a few check ups with me, then last one she had hers, but she wouldnt open her mouth at all! little monkey! and she was more intrested in the mirror thing they put in your mouth, she was trying to grab it off him and put it in his mouth!! lol

she had a sticker so she was happy ha xx

i had to take lily-ann as she was referred to a specialist for her teeth grinding and she loved it...haven't taken lewis yet though...he's such a little tart he'll prob love it

Alfie's been once and is registered as an individual.the one time he went was when he projectil vomited everywhere and we haven't been back yet!x

i havent taken either of mine because i cannot get them a dentist? i have rang around and they all say they are not accepting nhs patients, not even children but i can use the emergency dental service.... i am not taking my kids to a scary butchering dentist who cant speak english at 8pm at night so i dont know what to do x
