Even before you make an appointment for your child to see a Pediatric Dentist Littleton CO, you should take your child along with you when you see the dentist for your own appointment. One of the best ways to show a child what an experience at the dentist is like is to let him or her watch while mummy or daddy sits in the dental chair. Some dentists will facilitate the introductory session by allowing your child to play on the dental chair and give your child a mock dental check-up. The procedure will merely be to count the number of teeth your child has but it offers your child a comfortable and relaxing experience of sitting in the dental chair.
If your child has never been to a Pediatric Dentist Littleton CO before, then he or she has no idea what it will be like. That also means he or she will not associate the dentist as a place to be feared or a place that may be associated with pain. So avoid offering too much unnecessary information to your child before the first appointment. Some parents unwittingly introduce fear into their children even before the first appointment by saying the wrong things. For instance, parents who have a personal fear of going to the dentist have a habit of telling their children that there is nothing to be afraid of, or that it will not hurt. However, such comments create suspicion in a child. Why would mummy and daddy talk about being afraid or pain if there really was nothing to be worried about? Maybe there is something to be worried about. Some dentists work better with children so it is worthwhile doing a little research to find a Pediatric Dentist Littleton CO that offers a friendly environment for children.
