What will take place at your child’s dental visit?
All exams are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere. Pediatric dentists are trained in many methods to help children feel comfortable. For example, in “tell show-do” technique, the dentist might name a dental instrument, demonstrate the instrument by using it to count your child’s fingers, then apply the instrument in treatment. The initial exam will include a detailed inspection of the mouth and jaws and a discussion regarding diet and fluoride. During the visit, we will show you the best at-home technique for maintaining good dental practice.
