Looking for a Few Tips About the First Appointment?
We've got quite a few for you! Take a look through our FAQs.
It's my child's first dental appointment. Do you have any advice on how to make it a fun memory for them?
- Go with your child to their dental appointments.
- Help your little surfer develop a positive relationship with the dentist by making it clear that he or she is their “dental home.”
- The less “ fuss” the better. Wait until the day of the visit to inform your child about it.
- If your little surfer is curious about the dentist, let them know that the doctor will examine his or her teeth to ensure that they are in good shape.
- Help your child prepare for the visit by getting a good night’s sleep!
- Don’t use a dentist appointment as a consequence of misbehavior.
- Be a good role model by practicing an excellent oral hygiene routine in front of the kiddos.
- Show them how it’s done by maintaining good dental care in front of your children! Use positive speech when talking about the dentist.
Remember: Dental visits are part of growing up. You shouldn’t offer rewards or indicate in any way that there is anything to fear.
Can I stay with my child throughout his or her visit?
Yes! We strongly advise all parents to come along with their little surfers during their appointments. This helps your child feel more at ease throughout the visit, as well as giving us an opportunity to work with you in developing a treatment strategy for his or her dental and general health.
