Tips for Parents
Additional Things to Keep in Mind:
Don’t use the dentist as a threat.
Keep from using words such as “hurt”, “pain”, or “brave”.
Tell the dental office about any bad dental visits and/or fears your child has had.
Keep from mentioning any bad experiences or fears that you have had. Dentistry has improved and your child will be seeing someone specially trained to help your child.
Be a good role model. Brush your teeth with your child, take care of yourself.
