How To Prepare For Your Child's First Visit
How to prepare for your child's first appointment?
Having a positive attitude about going to the dentist is everything when it comes to a child. Making the visit a fun experience will keep your child's mind at ease. Trying reading a child's book about dentists or teeth. Try being the dentist at home by taking turns looking at each other's mouth with a flashlight. Schedule an appointment with the dentist at a time of day when your child is most relaxed to ensure cooperation.
