Kids Dentistry Weston
– Getting Your Kid Ready for that First Visit
Kids'
dentistry can be a challenge for parents particularly that impression forming
first dental exam. It's almost as much about child psychology as it is about
dental health. At our Weston dentist
office we have a method to handle kids as young as 3 years old but we need
the parent's assistance to get the most out of it.
How you
prepare your child for their first visit goes a long way in determining if the
child will continue dental care later in life. Our suggestion is that you
schedule an appointment for yourself and bring your child with you. Make a big
deal out of having good looking teeth. When the child arrives s/he will find
friendly people who make them feel comfortable and offer games, TV and blankets
while you have your appointment.
When
it's time for that first
exam, (their turn at the dentist just like Mommy or Daddy) explain that the
dentist is going to "count their teeth" and use a tooth brush to
touch each tooth and count them off.

you have a question regarding how to best prepare your kid, Dr. Pyle will take
the time to explain the best strategies and give you a crash course in child oral
health. Read More:
