First visit to the children's dentist. Important information for parents

Adaptation of the child before treatment

The first trip to the children's dentist is always an exciting moment and a huge event for the child and his parents. Before taking the child to the doctor, the parents need to properly prepare themselves and psychologically prepare the little patient.

The first visit to the dentist should be planned during the eruption of the first milk teeth. This technique is very important to establish hygiene and teach parents to properly care for the child's oral cavity. When all milk teeth have erupted, visits to the dentist should take place every six months. At this age, the child is not yet afraid of anything and, as a rule, everything goes smoothly. Conscious communication of the child with the dentist begins at the age of 2-3 years

To prepare your child for dental treatment before visiting the clinic, try to act out a trip to the dentist at home. Lay out the young doctor's toy set on the floor and, in the style of a game, show how the appointment with the children's doctor will take place. Ask questions and explain your actions. In this way, the unknown will become known, all the more understandable to your baby.

Show themed cartoons. There are many videos with children on the Internet, the main characters of which easily explain what a children's dentist does and how the treatment will take place.

Read together helpful books, such as "Aibolit", which reveal the main mystery that takes place in the dental chair and dispel children's fears.
