Parent hack: Stop saying these five things before your child's dental checkup. π¦·
Words matter when you're getting kids ready for the dentist. A few common phrases can accidentally bump up their nerves before they even sit in the chair.
β "It won't hurt."
β
"They're going to count your teeth and make them sparkly!"
β "Be brave."
β
"You're going to do great!"
β "If you're good, you'll get a treat."
β
"Let's go to the park after your appointment!"
β "I hate the dentist too."
β
"I love how clean my teeth feel after!"
β "They might give you a shot."
β
Let the dental team do the talking β they're pros with kids.
Small changes, big difference. Your child's dental visit starts at home with the words you use. π
