Toddlers first dentist trip.?

My 2 year old is going to the dentist next week. We have been reading books on going to a dentist and talking about dentist. He has 3 teeth now that have come in with odd texture and color-his ped isn't sure if it is from being a premie, high amounts of antibiotic for ear infections during his first year (had tubes put in on first b-day and no more infections), or from a fall at day care last Oct where he went face first into a bench. They got us in fast to see a children's dentist and the first appt is just the initial check and then we will have to go back for treating the teeth. My DH has a phobia about dentist and is not taking my son. I love the dentist (clean, bright, office smells good-odd I know). I am wondering what else I can do to get my son ready for the dentist so he won't have any bad feelings about going since I know this is the first of likely 2 trips to treat his teeth. The place we are going is well recommended and only sees kids so they have puppets to show the kids

Toddlers first dentist trip.?
When my kids were that age and I took them to the dentist I always tried to make the trip an exciting adventure for them. I talked about the dentist and what he or she was going to do to them and never said anything negative about the dentist to them. It sounds like you are taking them to a great place for the dental work.
