How do you persuade a 2 year old child to go to the dentist ?

I brought my boy who is 2.5years old to dentist 2 weeks ago. 1 week prior to the dental visit, I borrowed some books regarding visiting to dentist and read with him to let him know what to expect during the check-up. Also, we played pretending games whereby he is the dentist and I am his patient. He was very excited and looking forward to the dental visit. During the dental visit, I sit together with him and he lied on my chest. He was very cooperative during the check and done within 10 minutes.
