Dentists....Scary

Okay, since I am a bad mother apparently, I did not know you are supposed to take your child to the dentist when they get their first tooth. I have called practically every pediatric dentist in Augusta and asked them their policies and whether or not I can be present during her visits. Most allow you to be present during the first visit and subsequent cleanings. That's it. I am finding it very hard to believe so many parents willingly let their toddler go through that alone. I asked what they do when the child will not be still, they strap them to a papoose board. Like hell anyone is going to strap my child to anything. I really really really do not want to deal with this. Help!
