My children love the dentist! When I said to dd2 that we were going, she jumped for joy! Today's dentists know who they are marketing to these days.....hot pink toothbrushes, cookies and cream toothpaste, treasure boxes with mounds of toys - these are the reasons my girls say they love to go. And the little one actually flossed in anticipation without me asking her.....and she is five years old! They have video games in the holding area and they play the newest videos in the waiting room....who wouldn't love it. This is the second dentist we've been to like this so it is more than a trend.
When I was a tween and got braces back in the good ole 70's, I thought I had it good at my orthodontist. The waiting room was a beige, staid, parental-friendly place with elevator music. Back in the pain chamber, it was a different story. We had pinball machines (remember those?) and shag carpet and a million funky blacklight Elton John posters. He played the latest music all the time, blasting! The parents never had a clue - they never went back there. I think he made millions off his then cool marketing concept. Now - they all do it! How is your dentist?
