What if my child is nervous or afraid of the dentist?

It is very common for children to feel nervous about dental visits.

We work at your child’s pace, explain things in simple language, and try to make each visit feel predictable and comfortable. Sometimes the first goal is simply helping a child become familiar with the office, team, and equipment.

Parents can also help by keeping conversations about the dentist positive and avoiding words that may make the appointment sound scary before the visit.
