To prepare your child for their first dental appointment, it’s important to start early by introducing the concept of dental visits. You can alleviate any fear or apprehension by engaging in role play at home, where your child can pretend to be the dentist and you the patient. Using positive language to describe the dentist and the visit can create a sense of excitement and curiosity. Reading children’s books about dental visits can also help normalize the experience and make it seem less daunting.
Your child should visit the dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups and cleanings. These visits help maintain good oral health and catch any potential issues early on. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your child’s specific dental needs.
