Message-ID:

Hello,

My son, who is 6, will be going to his first dentist appointment. I

don't know if he will let the dentist look in his mouth and actually

clean his teeth. But he is really into brushing his teeth right now so

I figure it's a good time to try. My question is there anything that we

should avoid or that I should know about before the visit. What about

the paste that is used to clean the teeth. Is it o.k. for our children.

Thanks,

When my kids go for a cleaning or check-up, they give them a little

pink pill to chew. This is supposed to reveal the spots that were

missed when brushing. It probably has some pink coloring among other

things. That would be one thing to ask about.
