How can I convince my daughter to see a dentist?
It is DISGUSTING, but all I get are empty promises from her. She won't see a dentist. If I nag her, things will get worse, so I only bring it up every two or three months or so, but I worry about it CONSTANTLY.
I'd pick her up and carry her there myself if I could.. Please, does anyone have a suggestion?
Answers:
Leave her alone...she's an adult. She's already aware of the problem...if she doesn't have the self esteem and the self worth to do something about it, it's not your concern. If it's a matter of being seen in public with her...refuse to do so until she fixes her appearance.
tell her you will pay for her to get her teeth fixed maybe she cant afford it
Money is an issue for many people and dentists are very expensive, maybe she can't afford it.
make the apt for her and tell her she needs to drive you to the dentist apt
Simple:
Just cut out those ugly photos from the many cigarette packets showing gum and really bad teeth, and tell her that this is what happens when people dont look after their teeth.
Besides, tell them that dentists use special ways of helping children and there is no pain at all,
It took me a long time to convince myself to go to the dentist, I was terrified of going as my previous dentist had not given me the correct anesthetic and drilled onto a raw nerve. Pain was the thing to drive me to going. I now go regually as it has never been as bad as that again.
Hopefully she will see sense, especially if she is in pain. Perhaps it is the monetary aspect that it is keeping her away, if you can afford to try offering to pay.
I would also tell her how you feel, that you are worried about it constantly. Or even make the appointment for her and go with her.
Have you asked her if she is worried about going? Get her to talk this through with you and try to allay her fears.
Good luck!
Maybe your daughter is afraid of going to the dentist. Let her know that nowadays she can be sedated so she won't feel anything and she will be unaware of whats going on. If money is an issue maybe you could help her out or find a dentist that has a payment plan. Just offer this to her once. Don't put a lot of pressure on her about going. Your daughter could just be happy with herself.
