Children's Dentistry

The first visit for a child

We understand that your child may need extra TLC and more time in the chair. Here are some step-by-step tips:

  1. Find dental visits on YouTube about going to the dentist.
  2. Practice brushing together. Always give positive reinforcement.
  3. Use our free getting-to-know-you service. All it does is to allow your child to become familiar with the equipment, instruments, and the dental team. There is no charge.
  4. Be very positive about the visit.
  5. Try not to show any anxiety.
  6. A reasonable reward is understandable - 30 minutes more of TV or tablet time.

Dr. Hope will count the teeth using a tooth counter. She will ask the patient to stick out their tongue as far as possible. At the end, your child can choose something from the treasure chest.
