Here is Tatiana with our awesome assistant, Christina! Today was Tatiana’s first visit to the dentist. Christina helped to make her feel at ease with our dinosaur, Mr. Flossisaurus. She also got to wear a really cool pair of sunglasses so that our bright lights didn’t shine in her eyes. Your child’s first trip to the dentist should be a pleasant one. It is always best to prepare your child for his/her visit, but never use language they may scare your child. You can tell your child that the dentist’s office is a great place and that dentists keep you healthy and smiling. Tatiana did a great job today, and so can your child. Don’t wait too long to get your child into the dentist, it is best to allow them to be comfortable at the dentist so that subsequent experiences will be positive!
From one parent to another,
Dr. Frankel
