Here are some ways you can help make your child’s visit to the dentist a positive one:
🦷 Prepare your child for what to expect by reading story books about visits to the dentist or by ‘playing dentist’ at home.
🦷 Take your child with you when you have a check-up so that they can see what happens.
🦷 Talk about dental visits being a part of their regular routine that helps to keep them healthy.
🦷 Make dental appointments early in the day so your child is not tired.
🦷 Arrive a little before the appointment time to let your child become familiar with the new surroundings.
🦷 During the dental visit, let the dentist have your child’s full attention. They are trained to be gentle and make your child feel comfortable during the check-up.
🦷 Combine the dental visit with a fun activity afterwards like a trip to the park or having a friend over to play.
🦷 Make sure you only say positive things about your dental experiences in front of children
