Julianna (she’s 11): Hrrmm. Oww! Daddy! My tooth is bothering me. It hurts.
Me: It hurts? Ok.
J: Yes, it hurts. Really bad. Can’t you do something.
Me: Well… We have an appointment to see the dentist on Tuesday.
J: Nooooo! Not the Dentist! Noooo!!!! Anything but the dentist!
Oh man I’m with her – surely there’s something that you can do that doesn’t involve the evil dentist! Maybe try one of these methods 🙂

Bug, what I didn’t say during her whining was her asking: “When can I go to the dentist?”
Now with a date set, suddenly her tooth doesn’t hurt.
J: Can’t we cancel the Dentist?
No. And we don’t have a Nerf Canon.
