Dear Parents, Since we hope to accompany your child for many years, we want to work together from the very beginning to spark your child’s curiosity and make dental visits as positive as possible. Children are truly bright: if a reward is promised for cooperating, they automatically understand that there is a hurdle to overcome, and that is exactly what can trigger anxiety in the first place. Therefore, please refrain from promising rewards as well as using phrases like “don’t be afraid” or “it won’t hurt.”
Please let us take the lead in communicating with your child, and feel free to encourage them to go into the treatment room with us alone. Please consider whether you wish to accompany your child into the room or encourage them to go alone; it is usually more successful when anxious parents stay outside. We respond to your child’s wishes in a completely child-friendly manner.
