I used to work in a dental office and kids need to start seeing the dentist when they have all 20 teeth. Your daughter probably has all 20 if she's 3. There are pediatric dentists that cater to kids and make it fun to see the dentist!
I just realized you live in Olathe. Dr. Ronald Burgmeier is
located at 13026 Strang Line Rd ####-###-#### He is great with kids and his dental assistant is too.
Tell him V. sent you!

My girls see David Parrish and love him. He has an office in Olathe near Mur-len and Indian Creek Parkway, and he has an office in Overland Park near 95th and Metcalf. If he saw adults I would go to him as well he is very nice.

I took my kids for their first check up at 18 months. If you are in the Overland Park area Dr. Glenn Hemberger is excellent!

My daughter just went last month a couple of weeks before she turned 3. We went to Jenkins & LeBlanc pediatric dentists. She did really well and they are great with little kids. She got a bag full of stuff, pick out a little toy, ice cream, & watch a movie on the ceiling.
