4 Tips To Taking Your Toddler To The Dentist



Taking your child to the dentist can be scary and stressful. We want to make sure every child enjoys our environment and is comfortable visiting the dentist. Here are 5 Tips to helping your toddler while they are visiting the dentist and getting a dental check-up.

1.     “Start healthy routines early on. If children already have a healthy routine of brushing and flossing, you may be able to avoid costly and painful check-ups,” suggests Dr. Cameron Fuller.
2.     Have your child take a favorite toy with them. It is easier to be calm if they are focused on their favorite toy.
3.     Dr. Fuller suggests, “Visit the dentist and set-up an appointment prior to any dental problems.” Once a tooth has erupted you can have them visit the dentist for a quick check-up.
4.     Show up early to the appointment in order to allow time for you and your child to explore the office and look around. Also, if you do not feel stressed you are more likely to have a more positive visit which, in turn will help your child be calmer.
Toddlers can enjoy their visit to the dentist, but it is critical to set up a positive experience for them from the beginning. For more information on the dentist and your toddler call Dr. Fuller & his team today.
