Q. When did your kids start going to the dentist? My son is on Medicaid in Missouri and his primary care physician recommended he begin going to the dentist. I have heard that starting a child at one year of age is a good idea. However, when I called my Medicaid provider for my son, they informed me that he should not go until he is three years old.
What do you think?

A. Around three is a good time. However, you are really your kids first dentist. Make sure you show them the proper way to brush their teeth. Make a game out of it. Get them in the habit of looking forward to brushing early.It will pay off in the future.

How to stop being scared of the dentist?
Q. I am getting another tooth pulled out tommorow (Grrrrr!). I already had one taken out on Tuesday. I forgot how scared I was of getting my teeth pulled out. Not so much the pulling, more so the injections. I admit, last time, I started to get nervous for some reason or the other and tears started to roll down my face. Mind you, dentist didn't really help who asked me why I crying. :l How do you stop being scared?
A. Hello toffeebear15,
The injections, or rather shots, are to help you throughout the operation, or visit if you prefer. They numb your mouth area (you probably know, just retelling.)
I could see that you are scared of needles, or generally vaccines. Vaccines and those dental shots are to help you, so don't be scared.
Here is how I go to the dentist and don't be scared: think of it as something to remove your stress. Some people like me actually do like the feeling of the shots because of the stress I get from my sister (please don't tell my sister =D.)
What I recommend you to is: orthodontists are to help you. Just think of them in their underclothes. This doesn't help me because I laugh, but helps a lot of people. If this doesn't help, just be cool and tell your friend/family/relative to buy you a treat (no ice cream, just noodles or anything that is healthy and goes with your doctor's suggested meal for the day.) If you like video games, play video games after. I bet you can pass the level you want, because you'll be hyper when you pop that door open.
Hope this helps you,
Sean

How long will it take a dentist to pull an abscessed tooth?
Q. I have an appointment today at 5:30pm for him to pull it out but the Laker game starts at 6:00pm. I'm scared I will miss the entire game because of this. Will it take longer than an hour to pull it out? I want to at least catch the second half! Please somebody give me good news!!!! D;
A. It takes about 2 minutes. It's not major surgery.
