Read to your child or watch a show about going to the dentist to put any fears at ease.

Now that we went through the positives of Pre-Appointment DO’s lets move onto the Pre-Appointment DON’Ts

If you are afraid of the dentist yourself, do not communicate this with your child. Don’t pass your fear onward, let them experience the situation them selves.

Don’t expect your child to be on their best behaviour at the dentist.
