Preparing Your Child for the First Visit

Before bringing your child to us for the first time, please prepare him or her for this new experience. For very young children, there are excellent children's stories that describe a visit to the dentist. Please discuss the positive aspects of dentistry with your child. Convey good feelings to your child about dental visits being a part of growing up.

Instead of saying, “The dentist will not hurt you,” try saying "The dentist is going to show you lots of new and fun things to make your teeth sparkle and help you to have a prettier smile."

Morning appointments for little ones will catch them when they are most refreshed and most accepting of new experiences. If you expect your child to react well and enjoy the first visit to our office, chances are, he or she will do just that.

While you’re preparing your child for his/her first visit, keep in mind that our staff must also be thoroughly prepared in order to provide the best possible care for your child. That’s why we need you to be completely honest about your child’s health situation. Please provide us with ALL information related to your child's dental, medical and social situation.

A little preparation can help minimize first-visit jitters.

If you look at a trip to the dentist as a positive experience, your little one will, too.
