We have put together a few suggestions for you to use before you
bring your children in for their next dental visit that will make their time
with us more pleasant and much easier for them. |
- Arrange the time of the appointment so that your child is well
rested and has had a well-balanced meal
- Do not try to explain what we will be doing at the visit. We
want to build a trusting relationship with your children. We have found that if
we are the ones to explain procedures to children they are much more capable of
being in control than you may think.
- We like to relate to children on a one-to-one basis and feel
that children behave better if their parents remain in the reception
area.
- Do not ever use the words needles, shots, or drills.
- Avoid teasing, and such phrases as "they won't hurt
you".
- Do not relate any of your past experiences to them.
- Most importantly, try not to transfer any dental fears you may
have to your children.
Thank you for your cooperation.
