Dear Parent,

Remember how dental visits felt when you were a child? Many of us grew up feeling anxious or fearful about the dentist, and some adults still carry that apprehension today. This fear often leads to avoiding necessary dental care, which isn't beneficial for our health.

Fortunately, dentistry has evolved tremendously. With new knowledge, techniques, tools, and materials, we can now offer children safe, comfortable, and effective treatments in a welcoming environment. We understand that you might feel anxious about your child's first visit, but it's important not to let your worries show. Kids are incredibly perceptive and can easily pick up on your emotions, leading them to think there's something to fear. This can set a negative tone for their dental experiences.

Instead, help your child look forward to their dental visit by framing it as an exciting adventure. Explain in a relaxed and cheerful manner that the dentist will simply look at their teeth, count them, teach them how to keep their teeth clean, and perhaps even take some fun pictures of their teeth. This way, children can see their visit as an opportunity to meet new friends who are there to help them stay healthy. For many kids, this approach makes the experience interesting and even enjoyable.

Our team is passionate about working with children and knows how to create a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. We encourage you to partner with us in nurturing a positive attitude towards dental health in your child. Your involvement and support are crucial in ensuring that your child has a pleasant and successful dental experience.

Warm regards,
Dr. Iti’s Tooth Fairy Team
