Tips to Help Children Overcome a Fear of the Dentist
Why Dental Health Is Important for Children
If a child has less than favourable dental health while they still have their primary teeth, their permanent teeth may grow to be weak and unhealthy as well.
What If My Child Is Scared of the Dentist?
There are a few ways to help a child overcome their fear of the dentist. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
The earlier a child is introduced to a dentist, the better. Your child should have their first trip to the dentist by the time they start getting their baby teeth.
Show your children that going to the dentist is a good thing. Your children will follow your lead.
Consider taking your children to your own family dentist – it helps build children’s trust as you have an already established relationship.
