Positive associations with the dental office are essential to your child’s dental health because negative experiences can lead to dental anxiety and even dental phobia.
A comforting and fun environment encourages your child to visit the dentist. They have friends at the practice and soothing dental professionals to care for them. Anything less can have long-term consequences. Many adults who have dental phobia today indeed had a negative experience during childhood.
Our compassionate team are vigilant and aware. We maintain a positive atmosphere and are always good for a laugh.
Your child’s Spring Branch dentist encourages you to keep it positive when discussing the dentist’s office as well.
How You Can Help Make Visits to the Dentist Positive
- Keep it positive. — Always discuss visiting the dentist in positive terms, such as making it fun, counting teeth, the tooth fairy, or a friendly visit.
- Avoid negativity. — Refrain from using negative words, such as "needle," "drill," or "shot."
For our part, we’ll build trust with your child and a genuine relationship that makes them want to visit our dental office every six months.
