Noah lost his first baby tooth just before his birthday back in January. He lost his second one just a few weeks after the first. They both already have "grown up" teeth in their place.
Yesterday, Noah lost his third baby tooth. Last night we had to leave a note in the bottom bunk so the tooth fairy would know to look on the top bunk since Noah now sleeps up there.
This morning, Noah found two dollars from the tooth fairy under his pillow. (I think there may have been some miscommunication between the fairies as to who was leaving money!)
All that to say this...Noah has yet to see a dentist. I am planning on taking him next week. He is really scared. Any tips on taking a child to see the dentist for the first time?

We took R last year and she was fine. I was nervous about it, but she was good as gold. She was excited to get to pick something out of the treasure chest after she was through.
Maybe read some children's books on going to the dentist. I'm sure the library would have some. There may even be some online things you could do with him to get him ready. Good luck!
Tell him you will take him to McDonald's afterwards and he can pick out whatever he wants to eat. Just don't tell the dentist! This is coming from a pregnant lady who is ALWAYS craving McDonald's, Wendy's, etc. That's probably why this came to my mind. :-) Or you could buy him a cool new orange toothbrush and tell him he can start using it that night if he is a good boy at the dentist. I'm just rambling ... thinking how I might handle that situation when it's CJ's turn.
