Fear of dentists is very common among children. Parents should help their little ones overcome their fear of dentists and make them feel comfortable during dental visits to set them up for a lifetime of excellent oral health. Read this file here to learn about 7 best tips to help your child overcome dental phobia.tttt<br>
E N D
1. Start when young: Take your child to the dentist while young. The earlier a child gets to know the dentist, the better. The child will get to know about what a dental check- up is and its importance. 2. Keep it simple: Don’t explain to your kid too much about what will exactly happen at the dentist. Avoid giving more details to your kid and don’t tell your kid he or she will be undergoing treatment. This may help to prevent unnecessary anxiety. 3. Be careful with the words: Better not to use the words such as “pain”, “hurt” etc. instead tell your child that he or she is going to the dentist to get a more beautiful smile or a set of white and clean teeth. Let the child learn what it will be like from the dentist themselves.
4. Let your kid learn about their teeth: Make your child brush their teeth on their own and tell them to count their teeth. Explain to them the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene. This will increase their curiosity about a dental check-up. 5. Never take your child with you for your dental appointment: Refrain from taking your child while getting your teeth checked. Parents often think that this will help the child to know the dentist but instead, it will instill fear among children as dentists deal with adults’ teeth more differently than they deal with a child’s. 6. Don’t offer chocolates and candies: Avoid giving sugary stuff as a compliment to your child for visiting the dentist. It may mess up their teeth more than before. Never try to bribe them by giving candy. Appreciate them for their bravery instead.
7. Gift them small surprises: Surprise your kid with new colorful toothbrushes or good flavor toothpaste now and then. This will make them less frightened and more curious about the check-up.
