DADDY CLAY: Welcome back to the Lab, I’m Daddy Clay.

DADDY BRAD: And I’m Daddy Brad. You know what can scare the crap out a little kids? Clowns.

DADDY CLAY: Yeah. And broccoli.

DADDY BRAD: Aunt Mary’s kisses with that big goiter and the hairy mole.

DADDY CLAY: And dentists.

DADDY BRAD: But it doesn’t have to be that way. Because today we’re talking about taking the dentist off the scary list.

DADDY CLAY: I don’t know, dude...

DADDY BRAD: Believe it or not, the American Dental Association says you should bring you child to the dentist’s office for the first time at about age one. They barely have any teeth!

DADDY CLAY: But early visits are important, not just so the dentist can make an early check to make sure everything is progressing okay, but also because it’s good for the kid to get at least a visit of two in before any unpleasantness is involved.

DADDY BRAD: Her in Austin, we’re lucky to have a number of specialized pediatric dentists. If you have that option where you live we highly recommend it.

DADDY CLAY: Typically, the pediatric guys are going to have tricked out waiting rooms that put the kids at ease, and usually a few tricks in the exam chair to help young patients feel comfortable and relaxed.

DADDY CLAY: Well, that’s all for us this week in the Lab. Join us next week fir food and feeding disasters, brought to you by Boon.

DADDY BRAD: So when was the last time you went to the dentist?

DADDY CLAY: Brad, no one wants to know that.

DADDY BRAD: My question is are you setting a good example?

DADDY CLAY: On the DadLabs dental plan? I don’t think so.

DADDY BRAD: Did you have a bad experience as a child?

DADDY CLAY: Did you see the new Charlie and the Chocolate factory? Like that. How about you dude. Talk about scary.
