You play an important role in preparing your child for his/her first visit to us. The first visits to the dentist may be the most important in your child's life so we ask that you help by reinforcing our role as a "tooth doctor" who works to keep teeth healthy and happy.
- Be relaxed, your child will sense any anxiety on your part.
- Tell your child that we will "count" and "take pictures" of his/her teeth, and then talk afterwards about it.
- Don't over do it! Don't use words that may create fear in your child such as "hurt, injection, drill, X-ray, or needle".
- Don't relate any negative experiences you may have had as a child, and don't let other people tell your child stories that may provoke fear.
We are specially trained to handle children & you can rest assured we will treat your child as gently as we would treat our own.
