3 Tips for Easing Child Dental Anxiety
3 Tips for Easing Child Dental Anxiety
It’s easy for adults to understand why regular dental visits are important-but children typically don’t see the benefit of having someone poke around their mouth at the start.
At Exquisite Smiles, it’s our goal to create an environment of education and fun for you child, making them an active partner in their oral health so they’re proud to take care of their teeth.
If your little one has an upcoming visit with us that they’re nervous about, consider these tips:
• Explain to your child what might happen at their visit. Have them then practice flossing or brushing on a stuffed animal to get them comfortable with the exam.
• Bring a stuffed animal or toy from home to comfort them during their visit with us. We’ll let them hold it during their visit and play beforehand.
• Stop by our practice beforehand. If they’re especially nervous, let them come in and meet the team before their appointment-we can’t wait to welcome them into our care.
