How Can I Prepare My Child For Their First Dental Visit?
During your son or daughter’s first dental appointment, our goal is to help them form a great first impression about oral health care. This easy visit will introduce them to all the new sights, sounds, and friendly faces they’ll meet at our office. To help their visit with their children’s dentist go as smoothly as possible, you can help prepare them by:
Using a positive tone when talking about dental appointments.
Watching videos or reading books for children about visiting the dentist.
Practicing their appointment by having them sit in a chair while you count their teeth out loud with a toothbrush.
Scheduling their appointment during a time when they’re usually in a good mood, like just after a meal or a nap.
