What to Do If My Child Is Afraid of the Dentist
October 31, 2021 12:58 pmIs your child afraid of the dentist? In this post, we suggest ways you can make your child’s next visit to the dentist more enjoyable and less stressful.
Help Them Understand the Visit
Sometimes fear stems from not knowing what to expect or not understanding why something is happening. Help give your child some context as to why they are visiting the dentist and why their oral health is so important. There are a variety of children’s books and videos that can help your child know what to expect during their visit and how it will help their teeth and gums be healthy and strong.
