You have raised a very problematic issue. Once I was with my child, who was 6 years old, went to the dentist for compulsory examination before school. She was never told terrible stories and she never saw her teeth. The office was painted especially for children, the doctor was a very beautiful and kind girl. But as soon as my child entered the office, she was seized with fear, and she could not even sit down in the armchair. My persuasion did not help. Whence this fear, I do not understand.
I myself am not afraid to treat my teeth. It's strange, but I even like it )
Perhaps she saw a movie or a cartoon where a character was scared of dentists?
But either way, it is normal for kids to be scared when being examined.
Probably. It is a pity that many of this fear persists for life and get rid of it is very difficult...
