When my two year old daughter took a header into a bed frame and knocked her front tooth loose we got lucky in finding Eastside Pediatric Dentists in Issaquah. I've never been a fan of dentists in general, but I'm hoping to instill trust in my kids for the dental process.
The first visit was a bit traumatic, but that wasn't too hard to foresee. Since it followed an injury a team effort was required to get my daughter's mouth open to look around, but even the efforts to open up were gentle.
The second and third visits were far less intrusive. Children are allowed to explore the tools and the chair and even see what other kids are having done in the open clinic.
There are hand puppets with monsterous sets of teeth that are used to demonstrate brushing and now my daughter is keen to dig out her toothbrush morning and night to be like the lion.
They work with Delta Dental so it's just the co-pay you need to worry about.
