What advice did Radhika's mother give her to convince her to go to the dentist?
Radhika's mother reminded her of what her father had said to convince her to go to the dentist: "No dentist, no ice lollies." This implies that if Radhika refused to visit the dentist, she would not be allowed to have ice lollies, which is something Radhika enjoyed. The mother used this incentive to persuade Radhika to cooperate and visit the dentist to address her dental issues.
