They live with Dad. I have parenting time Thursday's after school and every other Sunday. They went to the dentist. Had xray's of teeth, and a floride rinse with bubble gum flavor was done. They needed a cleaning! The stupid women behinde the counter said "The dentist only cleans adults, not children" I almost went flying across the counter to give her what for! Family Dentistry says on the front door, no doubt. Should I make an appointment for a Thursday and take them myself? I really want to find another dentist, But the kids live with Dad. Can I do that?

Ok, first of all what Spartan said is completely ignorant and incorrect. Children are supposed to get their teeth cleaned, we start hygiene in our office as young as 3 years old sometimes. AND it does not make you lose any coating on your teeth, omg, lol! Getting your teeth cleaned is 100% safe and very good for your teeth and the only thing being removed is tartar and debris. Children 13, 10 and 9 should be getting routine cleanings, re-think your dentist.

I cannt understand why at this age your kids need their teeth cleaning?? Dentist assitant was right in a way everytime you police teeth you loose some of coating of your teeth which donot regenerate. That why most dentist donot clean kids teeth.
Good general care and eating habit should be able to maintain their good oral hygine. you better practise that and teach children to take care of their teeth.

surely you can set an appointment with a hygienist at the same office? or check with your children's schools regarding dental or medical if you have a limited budget for insurance.
do you have joint legal custody? you can make these decisions you know...just let the dad know. peace

Usually the hygeinists do the cleaning, even for adults. I don't know why they would say that though.

Medical is not insurance; call it what it is. It is the taxpayers paying for your health care.
