  1. 5 Tips for Managing Pediatric Dental Anxiety Taking kids to the dentist is usually a traumatic experience. The thought of this scary event can adversely impact the oral health of a child. Parents need to follow a strategy to ease the dental anxiety among their children. With these five tips you can prepare them for future visits to the dentist: Educate your child: Talk to your child before the treatment. Help them understand the procedure, don’t add too many details, and make sure your language is simple enough so that the kids understand what will be going to happen. Help them relax: The anxiety can be treated in a variety of ways, i.e. try to distract them, ask them to try deep-breathing or muscle relaxing exercises. Distract the child at the dental chair: You can ask the child to play with their favorite toy or even talk to them about their favorite topics to help them distract.

  2. Token of appreciation: During the appointment, you can communicate with their child and appreciate their brave behavior. You can even offer them some rewards or small treats as an act of positive reinforcement to overcome their anxiety. Be a model at the clinic: The involvement of parents can help a child to overcome his fears. Seeking permission to assist the dentist during the procedure would effectively reduce the amount of fuss an anxious child may create. You can even consider the role of a model and ask the dentist to perform the procedure on you. This will help the child to prepare for the procedure with confidence. Conclusion Frequent dental visits are important for your child, so make sure you follow these strategies to make the appointments smooth and fuss-free.
