What Massachusetts Dentistry Lets the Parent come in with child?

My daughter had her first dentist appoint around 19 months at Small Smiles and she went in by herself, I didn't know that was their policy until after I went into the backroom, I felt so awful sending my young one in their by herself but she complained of tooth pain and I needed her to get checked immediately, but now that I look at it I feel as though I should have been allowed in that room, she has a follow up next month with Small Smiles but I want to be in the room with her while she gets her teeth checked, any suggestions?Does any one know a dentistry that allows parents in the room? I can't send her by herself. I did not even get to meet the dentist, and I was not instructed on how to properly brush her teeth.

hi


not sure about your area. I know out here in arizona most will not let parent in either. they say something about it upsets the child more which I belive is BS. good luck
Reply:Most of them do. Call the dentist's office before making appointment and check. My dentist (in NJ) actually prefers a parent in the room with dentist/hygienist to keep the child calm.
