Dentist's surgery

Children play dentist and patient to get used to the idea of a visit.

Steps

1. Set up a corner: a chair, a lamp, a mirror, a white coat.
2. Show what a dentist does and how to behave in the chair.
3. Children take turns being the dentist, the patient and the receptionist.
4. At the end, everyone gets a 'brave patient' certificate.

Tip: A plastic dental mirror is cheap and fascinates children.

Materials needed
