First Visit Blues?

First Visit Blues?

Your child’s first dental visit should be a positive and exciting adventure!  While many family dental practices welcome young ones, there are many benefits to visiting a pediatric dentist.  Just as pediatricians specialize in working with children for medical visits, pediatric dentists have an additional two years of schooling to treat children and identify possible problem areas. Many pediatric dentists take regular classes in working with children who have different abilities and learn new techniques to make your visits go smoothly for both you and your child.

 We encourage you to stay with your child during the initial examination. Our goals include providing the highest quality of care for your child, developing a positive relationship with you and your child, discussing proper diet, nutrition and oral hygiene, as well as answering any questions. You can help make the first visit enjoyable and positive by creating an imaginative story for your child. Phrases like “tickling out the sugar bugs!” and “feeling silly” instead of “drilling out cavities” and “taking medicine” will help create a fun and lively story for your child to identify feelings and sensations with this new experience.

We can’t wait to meet your family! Contact us to schedule your child’s well-visit today!
