What Shall You do if the Child is Afraid of the Dentist

The first visit to the dentist is a special experience in everyone’s life. The positive attitude of the child before the visit to the dentist depends largely on adults he trusts – his parents. What shall you do if the child is afraid of the dentist? Children are very curious and the doctor’s room is quite interesting for kids as there are many new items that can be very interesting toys. But if before the first visit to the dentist he is unlikely to like it in such an office. They are sent to the pediatrician’s doctor “not to get sick” because even adults do not like to get sick. Therefore, so that the child is not afraid of the dentist parents do not need to conduct obsessive “preparation”, but at the same time, it is important to find a specialist whom they themselves trust the health of their teeth and the emotional state of their baby.

Why children are afraid of the dentist. What shall we start from?

Pediatric dentistry begins with an interesting acquaintance with a dentist. It`s better to start from a preventive with it, not complicated with a toothache. Try to gently prepare your child to visit the dentist. Focus on his favorite toy that wants to see the doctor treating teeth. Due to this, the child will be able, open his mouth and show his teeth to the dentist without any fear. Then you`ll explain that everyone goes to the good doctor when there are any problems with teeth. The first positive acquaintance with the doctor, without the need for treatment, will form a trusting relationship between the child and the dentist, which will have a positive effect in the future.

Painless procedures in children’s dentistry

The trust between the children’s dentist and child is a very necessary requirement. This doctor will help you to teach a child how to brush teeth, treat areas of initial caries with ozone, timely seal up the crevices (fissure sealing) on the chewing surfaces of the teeth, places where caries occurs most often. All this is carried out absolutely painlessly, the child will get used to it very quickly, and the effect of such procedures lasts for a couple of years. Do not frighten the child with a doctor and an injection, but try to maintain a positive image of a doctor whom he already trusts and who will always help. Growing up, children themselves will understand the enormous benefits of visits to the dentist for the health and beauty of their teeth.
