PUTTING YOUR CHILD AT EASE

Here at Castle Hill Family Dental Practice, we welcome anxious parents into the surgery. Infants and some young children often feel more confident when parents stay close during treatment.

We will always help children feel comfortable with dental treatment and interact with our young patients.

Questioning, distraction, and parent participation can all help give your child confidence in dental practice. You can also help by praising your child every time he or she does something right during a dental visit, and by always referring to the dentist in positive terms. (Of course - we also have to earn your praise!)

With older children, dentist-child
communication is often enhanced if parents remain in the reception room.
