Summary
Most of us don’t love going to the dentist, but for some of our kids it can throw them into a state of panic and fear. This can become a real barrier for check ups, fillings and tooth extractions.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to handle the fear of going to the dentist one small step at a time.
