How to Help Kids With Dental Anxiety

TORONTO - Aug. 31, 2023 - PRLog -- When it comes to taking your kids to the dental office, their anxiety can spike, making it hard for the dentist to get a good examine of their teeth. To help alleviate some of your child's fears and anxiety about the dentist, our team at Canada Dental Network has put together this post with a few tips and tricks that may help.

As parents play a big role in easing children's fears, there are a few things they can do to help a child prepare. Firstly, to make the whole experience better for them, when they get their first tooth, its important to celebrate this and drill into their brain that this is a "friend" and not something to fear. As the child gets older, the parents can begin playing "dentist" with them. Create a mock dental office in your home and have the child look into your mouth and you can look into their mouth. Try to recreate the motions, actions, and words that a dentist may use. Lastly, before their first appointment, try finding a book to read to them about the dentist's office. This will make them more comfortable with the whole idea.
