Allaying
the fears of dental visits can be tough. This can be the case when
these helpful doctors dedicated to getting their patients' teeth
strong, clean, and healthy are used by many parents and other adults
to scare kids into demanding their full compliance.
To
help your child become more comfortable when visiting a dentist, it's
best to not to talk about one in a bad light. However, kids sometimes
get the idea that dentists are scary through their friends or the
media. If your child asks questions about dentists, try your best to
answer them truthfully.
Dismiss
the rumors quickly by supplanting them facts about what actually
happens in a dental office. Tell your child that a dentist's primary
concern is no less than the health of his or her teeth. The more
careful he or she is in maintaining good oral hygiene, the less
stressful a trip to the dentist will be.
It
would be easier for kids to change their impression of a dentist from
fear to trust and confidence. This is ideal if their first dental
visit will simply be a dental
check-up instead of the more delicate tooth extraction. It's also
for the best interest of your child if his or her first dentist has
ample experience in dealing with kids.
