[QUOTE="keista, post: 470745, member: 11965"] Ditto Insane. I found a good one for DD2. somehow they managed to coax her into complying for the xrays without sedation, and used laughing gas for her treatment. Each successive visit her fears got less. It also didn't hurt that we "negotiated" a reward for her. As long as she eventually complied with the doctor. IOW any 'hiccups' of compliance did NOT count against her. The good ones ALL have TV screens above the chairs so the kids get distracted by a movie or something. the even better ones let the kids choose what they are going to watch. If any dentist mentions a papoose board [B]RUN[/B] as fast and as far as you can! I had such a dentist for DD1 when she was 2. I had no other choices at the time. Fortunately, DD1 does NOT remember the incident, but I do. It is especially horrifying when they don't let parents back in the treatment area to help calm an excessively anxious child. [/QUOTE]
