What can you do if your child is afraid of dentists?

  First of all, why is your child afraid? Is he acting up? The child doesn't trust, it's as simple as that! Your little one can't evaluate doctor's skills, all the equipment around him seems terrifying - and dentist's words don't sound sincere to him! Yes, that's right, the less people understand, the more they rely on their senses. And as for the children, their senses never let them down. Pedodontist should be a little childish himself, and for a while he should believe that he is actually "taking a warm out of the tooth", and that "he is making cotton fences to keep the warm in", and after that he won't fill the tooth, but will "make a door to make sure the warms don't come back!" All it takes is a bit of sincerity, which is so rare today! Children are very sensitive for falsehood. Perhaps we, grown-ups, should listen to them? A doctor should be very professional as well as eager to help the child. This is our priority! We treat your children as if they were our own!

  Dear parents, you are responsible for your child's positive disposition before seeing the dentist. What can you do if your child is afraid of the dentist?

  Start by making the first meeting an interesting acquaintance. It's better to do nothing but prevention during the first visit, to make sure the child doesn't feel pain. Try to prepare your child for this visit at home. Draw his attention to his favorite toy that wants to see a doctor who cures teeth. This way your child will not be afraid to open his mouth and show his teeth to the dentist. Then you can explain your little one that everyone goes to this kind doctor when his teeth need help. Don't lie even if your child is very little, instead tell him easily and naturally about what the doctor will do.
