Opinions vary widely on the strategies parents should use to prepare their child for their first dental visit. Some dentist experts think that children should see a dentist by their first birthday, while others believe it can wait a while longer. Although preventative care is important, some toddlers simply do not have the patience to sit still long enough in a chair to go through a complete examination. Although the statements expressed by qualified dentist experts often differ, here are some preparation tips they usually agree upon: • Find a dentist specializing in dentistry for children. These practitioners usually have toys in the waiting room and television sets. Watching a cartoon or movie will make the child feel more comfortable. • Schedule appointments early in the morning for your young son or daughter. If you decide to take your child to the dentist during naptime, expect trouble. The rest of the daily routine will be disrupted and the child will be cranky. • Talk to your children about what to expect at the dentist. Make it exciting. Answer all questions, no matter how difficult they are. You can even go online and research some of issues. • Dentist experts urge you not to leave your child alone during their first examination. This is a new environment and all the equipment may be frightening. • Hold your child’s hand while he or she is sitting in the dental chair. Some dentists will even allow you to sit in the chair with the child on your lap. • Control your own fear. Children pick up on behavioral fluctuations. • Take a familiar stuffed animal or doll along. It will comfort the child. • Give positive feedback after the visit is over, and do not forget to give yourself a pat on the back as well!
