I don’t know what to do. We found a great pediatric dental clinic, but he doesn’t let parents back. My daughter said she was terrified. I don’t want to put her through that again. Is there a way to convince the dentist I need to be back there?<\/p>\n

Each dentist has a different way of handling this issue. Some pediatric dentists are fine with parents being back in the operatory. Others absolutely will not allow it, feeling children do better without their parents in the room, projecting anxiety. Still others decide on a case by case basis.<\/p>\n

What is boils down to is you’re the parent. You’ll have to find the pediatric dentist<\/a> that works best with your family. I’d talk to your current dentist about your daughter’s experience. If he’s at least willing to try you going back with her then you can continue with him. If not, and you feel strongly it is in your daughter’s best interest to go, then you’ll have to find a different dentist.<\/p>\n
