Taking you child to the dentist

Take your child to the dentist around age three. At this age they are more aware of what is going on. They can follow directions such as open your mouth. If you are aware that their are issues before age three, take them earlier. Also take them to a children's dentist. Everything is set up for them. The chairs are their size. They have child friendly art work and decorations up as well as plently of toys for them to play with. A children's dentist also has many tricks up their sleeves to keep a child happy as well as to get them to do what they want them to do. This sets your child up for greater success.
1. Talk to you child before going. Play dentist and ask them to open wide. Maybe even wear a mask like the dentist if you have one.

2. Brush their teeth before going.

3. Always tell your child when you or someone you know goes to the dentist. This sets a good example.

Keeping your child's teeth clean helps build their overall health. Taking them to the dentist regulary is a good way to ensure that this happens.
