Prepare your child for the 1st dental visit
The parents play an important role in the preparation of child for dental visit and also on the behavior which the child will exhibit at the time of appointment.
We understand that you are anxious about your child’s initial visits, we request you to not let your anxiety show. Your perceptive child will sense that you are worried and will presume that there is a reason for fear. This can be false start.
Instead, prepare your child for their first visit to the dentist. So there are no surprises. Let them look forward to a new experience that will excite them. Explain them that the dentist will have a look at their teeth, count them, teach them how to keep teeth clean and perhaps even take some photographs of their teeth.
This enables children to view their dental visits as an opportunity to meet some new people who want to help them stay healthy. For most children this will be an interesting and even happy occasion. Your co- operation will go a long way in your child enjoying a pleasant and successful Dental experience.
