Talk With Your Children
Before each visit:
- Talk positively to your child about going to the dentist. Don’t scare them by using words like “hurt” or “pain” when talking about visiting the dentist.
- Talk ONLY about positive dental experiences you have had. Keep others from trying to scare your child about the dentist.
- Let the dentist explain what will happen during the dental visit.
- Stay in the waiting room if requested to do so by the dentist.
- Tell the dentist about any bad dental visits and/ or fears your child has had.
