Dental Education

Use resources to educate your child about what takes place at a dental office. This is an effective way to set initial expectations. There are numerous resources available online that are designed to appeal to children while educating them about dentistry. Knowing what to expect can help your child feel at ease. We recommend not trying to trick your child into going to the dentist, but be honest and open about what they can expect.

Find the Right Team

Familiarity with a dentist can go a long way in getting your child excited about going to see them. Going to the office and meeting the staff and dentist prior to an appointment is a good way to increase your child’s comfort level. If your child is comfortable with our team members, we can help educate your child. We invite you to get to know our team before your next visit.

Leading by Example

Children learn by example and imitation. If your child sees you dreading the dentist, they can mimic your fear or stress. Set the right example for your child. Another way to do this involves expressing your excitement and how great your teeth look will look after a cleaning.

Children may not always cooperate when going to the dentist, but these tips should help get them excited about their appointment. Being honest and letting your child know what to expect will help quell any fears they have, while leading by example can help get them excited.
