Make Your Child’s First Dental Visit a Positive Experience
When you bring your child to Bell Dental Group for their cleaning, you can expect that we’re going to welcome them, we’re going to make them feel comfortable, and we’re going to meet them sort of where they are. We’re going to sort of allow them to kind of tell us what they’re comfortable with. We always like to go slower with children, that’s why we like them to come in for the first time around age three, just so we can get them used to being in the dental chair and seeing us with a mask and gloves on, because that can be scary for children.
And so each time they come in after that point, we sort of see if we can do a little bit more. So we’ve started with, let’s just brush your teeth, or let’s just show you this. You know, next time, can we actually clean your teeth? Can we count them? Things of that nature.
We always want to make it fun for kids, so we always want to make sure that we have a treasure chest at the end, they can pick out the toothbrush that they want, and hopefully just make it an overall positive experience so that they’re excited to come back.
