Preparing for your child’s first visit to the dentist? In the days leading up to the appointment, brush your child’s teeth while they’re lying down or reclining in a chair. By the time they arrive in the office, the position will seem familiar rather than scary.

It’s important to remember that skipping regular teeth cleanings because you aren’t in pain is never a good idea. Even if your teeth are perfectly intact, your dentist may be able to catch issues with your gums before they can turn into serious problems.

My toddler is deathly afraid of the dentist, but I’m worried about putting her out with nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is not general anesthesia and your child will remain awake and able to answer questions the whole time. The gas will make your child relaxed so that the dentist can quickly complete the session.
