I have twin three year old boys. \u00a0They’re not naughty, but they do have a lot of energy can have trouble sititng through an entire appointment. My dentist said I have to bring them seperately so I can give my full attention to the child he’s treating. \u00a0He expects them to sit there and not ask questions or talk. \u00a0I feel not only is this unrealistic, but it is not feasible for me. I can’t spent twice the time with dental appointments and pay for a sitter every time. \u00a0Is this really what is to be expected with dental appointments? These are my first children and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Three year olds generally can’t sit for a complete appointment like adults can, but every dentist has different ideas as to how they want to run things. My initial thought is that this is not the best pediatric dentist<\/a> for your family.<\/p>\n

You’ll want one who is comfortable working with young, wiggly patients. It doesn’t just have to be a pediatric specialist. It could also be a general dentist who loves working with children. \u00a0They’re completely qualified to meet the dental needs of your children.<\/p>\n
