It was pointless because she wouldn't open her mouth, and they won't force them, so we basically met the dentist and left! He said we need to come back in 6 months. He better be willing to force her mouth open at that point because he clearly is unaware of my child's stubbornness! At least it was nice to meet the dentist- I really liked him. He is the dad of one of the girl's in Ella's class!
Oopsy! It seemed that your efforts to encourage Ella weren’t enough for her to allow the dentist to examine her teeth. I would suggest that you look for another dental clinic -- one that is kid-friendly because that may give her confidence and motivation. Great services and facilities affect the mood of the children.
