Find a Pediatric Dentist – That’s
us! Bringing your child to a pediatric dentist is important! We’re trained to
work with children and make their visits are comfortable and painless as
possible!
Explain the importance of oral health – Talk with your
children before their dental visit about how important it is to brush and floss
daily. The more you talk about it, the more they’ll understand!
Set up a meet and greet – Pop in your pediatric dentist’s
office before your scheduled appointment. Your child will feel more comfortable with a
familiar face.
Make regular dental visits – The more you bring the children
to the office, the more comfortable they’ll be. Your child should have a
scheduled cleaning every six months!
Avoid “scary” words – When talking about the upcoming dental
visit, try to stay away from words such as pain or hurt. Use gentle and
friendly words. This way your child associates those words with the visit.
I started going to the dentist at a young age. The dentist has always been a part of my life. Because I did this, the dentist wasn't ever scary to me. I was already used to the whole process. That is a good tip. http://www.smiling-kids.com/
