You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and fun! Our staff is highly trained to meet the needs of your child. You can start at home by explaining to your child in an enthusiastic manner that he or she has an appointment with the dentist.
Here are some common terms you should avoid: “needle,” “shot,” “pull,” “scrape,” “pain,” “hurt”.
In our office we use age appropriate language tailored for each child, such as:
“count your teeth”
“take pictures of your teeth”
“clean your teeth”
“tickle your teeth”
“wash your teeth”
“clean up water with Mr. Thirsty”
