Preparing Children for Their Visit

We know a child’s first dental visit can feel intimidating, so we work hard to make it fun and positive. Here’s how to prepare your child for their appointment:

  • Talk About the Visit: Explain what will happen in simple, positive terms, like “The dentist will count your teeth and help keep them strong.”
  • Bring a Comfort Item: A favourite toy or blanket can help your child feel at ease.
  • Arrive Early: This allows time for your child to get comfortable in our family-friendly environment.
  • Reassure Them: Let your child know they’ll meet a kind dentist and enjoy special touches like the play area or fun shows on Netflix.
