Some Kids' TV programmes actually depict dental fear in a mainly positive way:

Hannah Montana Episode - 'Don't Go Breaking My Tooth'



Pre-school programmes tend to take an especially responsible approach:
UK Teletubbies - dentist referred to with her first name and described as the children's 'friend'
UK 'Come Outside' - Auntie Mabel has some reservations and visits a toothpaste factory with her dog Pippin beforehand, she also takes Pippin to the vet to have his teeth checked before going to her own check-up.

After watching about the 100th episode in a row of Peppa Pig today whilst babysitting my neice there was an episode where Peppa and George visit the dentist...I thought it was quite well done since it is aimed at very young children (my neice is 22 months and is obsessed with Peppa!)
