Speak FUN Instead of FEAR
Parenting advice before you child’s first dental appointment
- Children often imitate their parent’s attitudes.
- Say happy and exciting things about the dentist
- “the dentist will be so excited to see your new tooth”
- “the hygienist will be so proud of the good job you are doing brushing”
- “it will be fun to have your teeth counted. How many teeth do you think you have?”
- Avoid comments that imply the dentist is scary like
- “Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt that bad,”
- “Don’t be afraid.”
