How to Answer Your Child's Questions About Coming to See Us


Posted on 9/2/2024 by NC Pediatric Dentisty
Happy young person laying on a bed and brushing their teeth.Kids can be very inquisitive when it comes to oral health. They can ask sensible questions like the importance of brushing and funny ones like "do wisdom teeth make you wise?". Either way, you need to give them accurate answers that make sense to them. When answering such questions, you need to be careful because kids get scared easily. You shouldn't give them scary responses that could make them shy away from dental hygiene. When you have to bring them to our offices for dental treatment or checks, kids will tend to ask you questions in advance in an effort to understand what's going on and what to expect.

Dealing with Your Child's Questions


When your child asks you questions about coming to see us, you need to be careful with your answers. First, you should ensure that you don't instill fear in them. In most cases, dental procedures on children are simple and very comfortable. They also take a very short time and won't expose them to any kind of pain. This is the picture you should paint when answering your child. Making your child comfortable and relaxed about a dental visit is very important for the future. When they visit our offices and find out that the dentist is their friend and wants the best for their teeth, they won't shy away from seeing us.

This is also important because they will open up whenever there's a problem with their oral health. Some children tend to hide their dental problems due to the fear of seeing a dentist. They do so sometimes due to the wrong and misleading answers their parents give them. This is very dangerous because it can lead to the worsening of the oral condition. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when answering your child. If you are not sure of the correct answer, get in touch with us immediately. Contact us for more information on dealing with your child's questions.
