The dental anesthesia center is hands down the best dental office I have ever been to. I neglected my teeth for years due to severe dental anxiety. I had work done under anesthesia with doctor hoffman who did an amazing job. Doctor Behl is not only a fantastic dentist but one of the nicest people I have ever met. The dental hygienists are both thorough and gentle. Stop your search and just go here

Their staff was truly caring and respectful in everything they did. The dentist explained what they found in the initial tests, asked us questions about our 82 year old sister, then explained the options that would give the best results.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re grateful for the opportunity to provide compassionate care and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

My hygienist, DeLaina Joost, takes excellent care of my teeth with her advanced skills, gentle touch and great “chair side” manner. She is a consummate professional, and such a compassionate person. I look forward to my visits at DAC!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you had a positive experience with our team and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Bring them back to their bed and pull a magic trick

If your child comes to get you and is sad that the Tooth Fairy forgot them, then take them back to bed with a dollar in hand. Rustle through the bed, planting the dollar so you can “find” it, and let them know that they must have been so restless in their sleep that the dollar got shifted around in the bed.

Tell them that the Tooth Fairy takes one day off a week

If the Tooth Fairy forgot to come collect, then tell your little one that everyone needs a day off. Even if they were slightly disappointed, just let them know that the day the Fairy chooses is always random and it just means they will come the next day. That will give them one more day of anticipation. Just make sure to have the money ready to go, so that they aren’t disappointed two days in a row!

Have the money prepared ahead of time

To make sure that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t forget, have a little tooth box ready and waiting. Hide it under the bed before your child even loses their tooth, so that you won’t ever forget and end up feeling bad. Once it is emptied, refill it again and hide it in a new place in the room. Prevention is the best way to make sure not to disappoint your child by falling asleep before you get to it or forget to plant the money altogether. If you don’t get to take the tooth, just tell your little one that the Tooth Fairy’s bag must have been full, but she will be back later to pick it up.

Pay for the teeth in a lump sum

If you know that you probably will forget to leave money every time your child loses a tooth, pay close attention to it the very first time and make a big deal about it by giving them a bigger sum of money. Tell them that the Tooth Fairy is paying ahead of time for all of their teeth, and forget about the hassle of doing it each time. Sure, it might seem a little like a cop-out, but if you know yourself well enough and don’t want to disappoint them, they will be okay with a larger sum of money if you make a big enough deal out of the first.

As parents, you have so many things to remember and do. If the Tooth Fairy is a no-show, don’t feel too bad; everyone has forgotten something. The best way to ensure that she always shows up is to have a plan ahead of time so that you never disappoint.
