Like another reviewer, I got to go in with my daughter when she was 2, and she had a good experience. At 3, I was surprised to find out I could no longer go back with her, not even when they couldn't get an x-ray because she was crying. To add fuel to my fire, at the end of the appointment I did not even talk to the dentist that day and I'm not even sure she saw my daughter. I tried out a new dentist today who let me go to the back with my daughter and she had a great experience! Mommy being there with her made her feel comfortable, and did not make her act out for the dentist (which seems to be the concern with a parent going back for treatment with the child).
