But now Hamish is trying to help his daughter so that she is no longer afraid to come to the dentist, one of which is by diligently brushing her teeth.

"With the process if you fix the crime, so if he's in the process of not being afraid of dentists anymore. So he's still brushing his teeth and yes to avoid going to the dentist," he said.

"Yes, it's just enthusiasm, it's not like asking or making a homework, we just make fun. In the help of our Heck, we make stairs for children to stand in front of the sink so they don't lose the mirror so while looking at the glass, so they don't excel if they brush their teeth," he added.

The reason is drg. Tritarayati dance said that one of the reasons children are afraid to come to the dentist is because the condition of their teeth is already severe and the doctor's actions are considered to make them more sick.

"He was invited to the dentist so what? So that later the dentist can find out 'oh, this is good, this is his teeth development', then the children are also getting used to it, because if the traumatized person is taken to the dentist, he is still sick with teeth," explained drg. Tritarayati dance.

"That's why when he comes to the dentist when he has toothaches, he will definitely be traumatized, 'oh, it turns out that this dentist doesn't help me but still hurts'," he said.
