It's a common stereotype that people are afraid to go the dentist. Add onto the fact that you might be taking a toddler or young child to see the dentist, and you might dread the appointment more than your child. But here at Northwest Children's Dentistry, we are trained pediatric dentists who take pride in making you and your child comfortable each time they visit the dentist. We believe that positive experiences will encourage kids to want to return, which in turn increases the likelihood that your child will maintain healthy teeth over a lifetime.
Here are some of the ways we try to make our dental experience a pleasant one:
- Explaining every step of the way: We let our patients know what we're doing before we do it so nothing is a surprise.
- Creating an open environment: Our exam rooms are open so that you don't feel closed off and can see what's going on around you.
- Encouraging questions: Knowledge gives you power, so we want you and your child to ask us as many questions as you need.
- Using positive language: We avoid anxiety-inducing words that may cause your kid unnecessary worry.
- Rewarding the experience: We give out small prizes to kids after the exam as a positive reminder of both their good behavior and a good experience.
