We want your child’s experience at the dentist to be as positive as possible. It is completely normal for children to have some anxiety about a new experience, and it is even normal for some children to cry because of fear of the unknown. Rest assured, even the most anxious children will become more and more comfortable as they have positive, painless experiences at the dentist.
Please don’t over-prepare your child for their first visit. Children can sense whether or not you are anxious about the appointment, and will behave accordingly.
The most important part of your first visit will be an oral exam with Dr. Callahan. The doctor will check for normal oral development and look for any signs of tooth decay or oral disease. We will give you some tips on preventative care. Decisions about x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, etc. will be made based on your child’s age, level of anxiety, and dental needs. Parents will always be a part of the decision-making process.
Please feel free to ask questions when you call for an appointment. We can’t wait to meet you and your child.
