Local moms: I need a dentist recommendation. I want to find someone who is excellent with young children, especially those who may be nervous, scared, or have complicated health issues. I need someone who is compassionate, patient, and gentle. Someone who specializes in child dentistry, perhaps even with special needs patients, and has lots of fun distractions, toys, games, etc.
We just had an awful experience today at a local dentist office. Ryan did great. No cavities for him and he actually loved it. But Rowan was very nervous so I held her on my lap and in my arms. Then she became frightened and screamed and cried and they held her down and forced their way into her mouth. It was traumatizing and I feel absolutely awful for allowing it to happen as long as it did. Never again.
