New Patient Forms  /  My Visit to the Dentist Personal Coloring Book

Your child should visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday.  You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.  Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and his staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.  The less to-do concerning the visit, the better. 

If your child is over the age of 3, we ask that you allow them to accompany our staff, by themselves, through the dental experience.  We are all highly experienced in helping children overcome anxiety.  Separation anxiety is not uncommon in children, so please try not to be concerned if your child exhibits some negative behavior.  This is normal and will soon diminish.  Studies and experience have shown that most children over the age of  3 react more positively when permitted to experience the dental visit on their own and in an open environment designed for children.

It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as needle, pull, drill or hurt.  The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.

 

We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!
