Generally, infants should see the pediatric dentist around their first birthday, according to medical guidelines.\u00a0 Parents with dental phobias can find first visits stressful.<\/span><\/p>

As a parent, you must communicate positive messages about dental clinic visits (especially the first one) and make the experience as pleasant as possible for your child.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Children’s psychology is an integral part of pediatric dentistry training.\u00a0 The dental offices of these companies are typically well-lit, colorful, and child-friendly, as well as equipped with a variety of games, toys, and educational materials.\u00a0 The goal of pediatric dentists (and all dental staff) is to make the child feel as comfortable as possible during all dental visits.<\/span><\/p>

Parents can make the first visit enjoyable by doing several things.\u00a0 Here are some helpful tips:<\/strong><\/p>

Explain the situation in a positive manner <\/b>\u2013<\/span><\/p>

The purpose of the dental visit should be explained in a positive manner.\u00a0 If the dentist “helps to keep teeth healthy,” that is much better than saying “he is checking for tooth decay, and if decay is found, he might need to drill the tooth.”<\/span><\/p>

Bring another adult with you to the visit –<\/b><\/p>

Infants may become fussy when their mouths are examined.\u00a0 Another adult can soothe the infant while the parent asks questions and listens to advice from the dentist.<\/span><\/p>

Don’t use threatening language <\/b>\u2013<\/span><\/p>

A pediatric dentist and his staff are trained to avoid using threatening language, like drills, needles, injections, and bleeding.\u00a0 Parents should use positive language when discussing dental treatment with their children.<\/span><\/p>

Keep other children at home <\/b>\u2013<\/span><\/p>

Parents can be distracted and the infant can fuss if there are other children around.\u00a0 The first visit can be made less stressful for everyone if other children are left at home (when possible).<\/span><\/p>

Describe what will happen <\/b>\u2013<\/span><\/p>

A child’s anxiety can be greatly reduced if he or she knows what to expect.\u00a0 Children’s books about visiting a dentist can be an effective means of helping make the experience more enjoyable for them. The following books have been recommended by parents and dentists:<\/span><\/p>
