A few tips for parents.
- Talk about it lightly
- Say you are going to count their teeth. Skip words like pain, needle or drill.
- Book the morning
- Children are usually calmer and more curious before lunch and nap time.
- Bring a favourite toy
- Their teddy can have its teeth counted first, which makes the chair less strange.
- Brush together at home
- Two minutes, twice a day, with a pea-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste.
- Go first yourself
- Let them watch your own check-up. Seeing you relaxed in the chair does more than any explanation.
- Keep sweets to mealtimes
- Teeth cope better with one treat after lunch than with small snacks all afternoon.
- Swap juice for water
- Water between meals, milk at bedtime, and juice only as an occasional treat.
- Praise the visit, not the bravery
- Tell them what a good job they did opening wide, rather than how brave they were not to cry.
