What if my child is afraid?

Even if your child is not in pain, he/she may be fearful and apprehensive about a new experience. Your child may cry, but you need not be upset about this. Crying is a child’s normal reaction to fear. We encourage moms &/or dads to be present in the treatment room as a reassurance to the child. When he/she knows about the office and no longer “fears the unknown,” he/she will be a willing cooperative patient.

If your child has had any earlier bad experiences with dentistry, it may take more than one visit to make him/her feel ready to cooperate and to accept dental treatment. We will make every effort to gain your child’s confidence.
