Your Child Needs a Filling but is Scared of the Dentist!

When Lexi’s Mum spotted a hold in her 7 year old not only was she horrified but was worried Lexi would panic when she visited the dentist. Here’s what happened:

  • Mum called to make an urgent appointment.
  • Dr Karen, known for her gentle manner with children, was available the next day.
  • Whilst waiting to see Dr Karen, Lexi looked for the fish in DCME’s garden pond.
  • Lexi was taken upstairs to Dr Karen’s room, sat in the comfy chair and was given pretty glasses to wear.
  • Dr Karen rubbed banana flavoured paste around Lexi’s tooth so she didn’t feel the anesthetic nor see the needle.
  • Lexi was so relaxed, the drill didn’t bother her.

Before she knew it Lexi’s procedure was all done, she choose a smiley-sticker, was given a care pack and was on her way to school
