Dentists know that laying back while a stranger use metal tools into your mouth isn\u2019t pleasant, and they will take steps to ensure you\u2019re comfortable and feel safe. As an adult, you know this\u2014but how do you explain that to your kids?<\/p>\n<p>Children often wear their fears on their sleeves, so it should be easy to spot when they\u2019re getting uncomfortable with the thought of going to the dentist. You also know your kids best, so you probably have a good idea how the experience will go during their first visit. The good news is there are plenty of things you can do to get your kids ready for a positive dental visit.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some ways you can reduce your child\u2019s fears of the dentist.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #1cbdbb;\">Take an Early Visit<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Fears often come from the unknown\u2014so bring your child along to your next visit to the dentist! Let your child see that it\u2019s no big deal. It\u2019s also a great time to introduce your child to the frontline staff and the dentist. Your child can start building trust with these people&nbsp;<em>before<\/em>&nbsp;having to hop into the chair. It\u2019s also a chance to see mom or dad go through the experience and come out smiling on the other side.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #1cbdbb;\">Avoid Negative Language<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Start talking about the dentist and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/2019\/10\/7-oral-hygiene-tips-for-infants-every-parent-should-know\/\">oral hygiene<\/a> early and&nbsp;make it a part of everyday life&nbsp;in order to normalize it for your child. The key is to avoid negative language or terrifying connotations, such as the word \u201cdrill.\u201d Use some fun terms your kids can grasp, like \u201csugar bugs\u201d instead of plaque. And whatever you do, don\u2019t mention pain, even if all you\u2019re saying is, \u201cIt won\u2019t hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #1cbdbb;\">Play Dentist at Home<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Kids learn through play, so after a visit to the dentist to watch you experience it, try making a game of it. You can take turns playing the role of the dentist and looking into the other\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Find some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/karacarrero.com\/toys-to-teach-kids-about-dental-hygiene\/\">toy dentist equipment<\/a>&nbsp;you can use, or improvise with objects around the house like Popsicle sticks or straws. There are teddy bears you can buy that have teeth in their mouths, designed exactly for this kind of play. The goal is to continue getting your child comfortable with the idea of the dentist and see that it\u2019s not as bad as they might imagine it.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #1cbdbb;\">Read Dentist-Positive Books<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Along with play, reading books about visiting the dentist can go a long way to normalizing the experience. It can also help answer questions your children might have\u2014or even help them develop the questions they don\u2019t know they want to ask.<\/p>\n<p>There are many&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/list\/show\/87433.Children_s_books_about_dental_health\">great books out there on the topic of dental hygiene<\/a>, so find one your kids love and get reading!<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #1cbdbb;\">Create Space for Questions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Again, it\u2019s the unknown that causes fear. By creating time for your kids to ask questions, you can answer and alleviate fear. This helps you get a sense of what is bothering your children about the visit, and you can find specific ways to remove those fears.<\/p>\n<p>Be honest and truthful, yet&nbsp;careful, with your language, and stick to answering only the questions your child asks. Sometimes, it\u2019s just one aspect of the visit causing fear, so there\u2019s no need to give them more reasons to worry.<\/p>\n<p>Your children are strong people; they just don\u2019t know what to expect from a visit to the dentist. Find ways to explain and help them become comfortable, and your next visit to the dentist won\u2019t involve kicking and screaming, but rather, a beaming smile.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-finding-a-pediatric-dentistry-practice-for-your-child\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26147 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"250\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal-768x240.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/250;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26147 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cityorthopeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Everything-You-Need-To-Know-About-Finding-A-Pediatric-Dentistry-Practice-For-You-Child-Blog-CTA-2020-Teal-768x240.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some people, visiting the dentist is a chore; for others, it\u2019s a nightmare.
