FIRST TIME SA DENTIST NI FRIENDSHIP!🦷
Actually, we tried bringing him to the dentist when he was 3 years old, pero ayaw pa niya talaga. Scared pa daw siya, so we didn’t force him. We wanted his first experience to be as gentle and positive as possible. ❤️
So habang naghihintay kami na maging ready siya, ito yung ginawa namin. Let him brush his own teeth first, then ako yung mag-brush ulit after. We also bought him an electric toothbrush and slowly introduced it to him. Sabi ko, “Anak, yung gagamitin din ng dentist parang electric toothbrush para linisin yung teeth mo.”
When he turned 4, mas madalas ko na siyang kinakausap about going to the dentist. Sabi ko, “Lilinisin lang ni Doc yung teeth mo and tatanggalin yung mga stains na hindi natatanggal ng toothbrush.” Thankfully, this time, pumayag na siya! 🥹
Kanina, medyo kinakabahan pa rin siya, so I had to carry him muna para mawala yung fear niya. Super gentle din ni Doctora kaya unti-unti siyang naging comfortable.
And the best news? WALA SIYANG CAVITIES!
🦷Cleaning and fluoride lang ang ginawa sa kanya today. Sabi pa ni Doc, maganda at malinis daw ang teeth niya. ❤️
As someone na sungki/crooked ang teeth and hindi rin masyadong naalagaan ang teeth growing up, nakaka-proud talaga seeing my 4-year-old with no cavities. 🥹
We make sure na twice a day siya nag-brush before going to school and before bedtime. Small routine, pero malaking bagay pala talaga. 🥰
Hindi man naging successful yung first attempt namin at 3, okay lang. Sometimes, kailangan lang talaga natin hintayin na maging ready sila. No forcing, just gentle introduction and lots of reassurance. ❤️
Kayo mommies, paano niyo po inaalagaan ang teeth ng mga bagets niyo? And paano niyo sila na-prepare for their first dentist visit? 🦷💕
