: : Hallo Ola,
: : I hope that the dentist's visit went well. I have no trouble with my son: he can't wait to visit the dentist why? because of tat wonderful chair that goes up and down! He always rushes into the dentists to be first!

: my daughter wasn't too happy with that chair...i guess she didn't expect it and we kinda had to hold her hands somewhat so she doesn't pull the dentist's hands away from her mouth. we would've had to wait like 2 hours before she got comfortable and did it her way...maybe. but that was the initial visit and now we have to go again to get xrays and to actually get her teeth fixed. so i think she'll be out during the procedure which is great. is it better to have non-mercury fillings...does anyone know? i'm curious cause i hear about possible metal toxicity in these kids. thanks to everyone for sharing...it was great hearing your stories!!! love, ola

ola,

hi - i dont know if you remember, but my father, sister, and brother are all dentists and i have been around the dental field for quite some time. now a days they do what is called "sealants" on kids. it is sort of a "white filling." it doesnt hurt - most of the time they dont have to use any anesthetic. you will probably have to hold her hands cuz the procedure requires that the tooth stays dry when etching it. if the dentist uses the bite gaurd it will help and keep the childs mouth open. im not sure how your child reacts to things she doesnt like to do, but it shouldnt take very long. how many teeth does it include? is it sealants that your dentist is talking about? by the way, what did you think about how the dental visit was handled? hope all goes well....... love, jamie
