Dentists are at most times very seldom praised by the young children. Firemen for one are idolized by young kids because they help save our houses. Policemen keep the law and protect us all from evildoers. Doctors save lives and give us medicine to keep our boo boos and sickness away. Teachers are those who enlighten the children's mind and teach the ABC's of life. What about dentists you might ask? Well they are the ones who inject us with needles that hurt our mouth to remove our tooth. Dentists, for children, are synonymous with pain!
But that shouldn't be the case actually, this nice folks are actually rather important to society, ask any grownup and they will attest that this is true. So much for they hurt us more than help us, when we grow up and understand that a clean tooth is better than a rotting tooth and the only one who can save that tooth is the ever dependable dentist.
Yeah it's kind of wrong to give the children the wrong notion that they should fear the humble teeth doctors. They should actually be promoted to our children, not the needles and the tooth removal but the teeth cleaning that they can provide for our kids. Remember that prevention is now better than cure in the world of dentistry and asking your kids to listen to the dentist advice is really helpful.
A regular visit to the dentist's laboratory will do you good too, not just the children but everybody else! If you don't want to get your teeth removed prematurely because you haven't had the time to get them checked then you should do so today. When you brush your teeth everyday it helps a lot, but that does not ensure that you won't have any more plaque problems. It's easy to fall prey to laziness too, forgetting to brush and floss but as long as your dentists are there to help you get cleaned up those laziness tendencies will be negated.
So far even though at a young age our kids are afraid of dentists it's not a losing trade still. Many people still aspire to be dentists and you should try and encourage your kids to like that occupation as well. Not just the common choices like being a policeman, or a fireman, or an astronaut but also to be a dentist that, even though they don't usually save lives but they save your teeth from the evil tooth decay monster. They might not be able to go to the moon and all of that good stuff but hey, if you go to the moon with a bad teeth, that's not going to be nice at all.
