Prepping Your Child For A Visit To Grayhills & Mohip Dental

June 23, 2015 - PRLog -- The dentist can be a major source anxiety for people of all ages. However, it is most common in younger children, especially when they have grown up in a household with other anxious patients. Believe it or not, the number of fearful parents and children are very similar, and many believe there is a correlation between the two. The best thing you can do is make your child feel like a trip to the dentist is no big deal. The following ideas may help to lessen your child's fear of the dentist:

- Getting your child in soon after the first tooth erupts is important. Starting at a young age will help your little one build a relationship with the dentist.

- You have to associate positive things with the dentist. Always tell your kid about how the dentist will check his or her smile, and count teeth.

- Playing dentist at home can go a long way towards erasing fears of the unknown. Simulate the experience with your child.

There are many ways to make your child feel better about the dentist. The bottom line is that oral hygiene is far too important to let anxiety prevent a visit. Contact Grayhills & Mohip Dental, today, and set up your next appointment.
