FAQs about Children's Dentistry
-
How do I prepare my child for the dentist?
To prepare your child for the dentist, make sure you schedule a time when your child is most likely to be well-rested and willing to cooperate.
When explaining the visit to your child, use positive words, and avoid mentioning any negative experiences or associations such as “pain.”
While we’re confident your child will feel comfortable in our care, we know that children are very sensitive to new experiences and can be easily scared.
Last but not least, listen to your child and maintain an open line of communication. Encourage him or her to share any worries with the dentist.
