Kid's Dentist in Ajax
Your team at Dentistry in Ajax works hard to provide children's dental services and to ensure your child's first visit to the dentist is a positive one, helping pave the way for a lifetime of healthy smiles!
Welcome to the KidZone!
We understand that kids can feel nervous about the dentist. We provide an area for your child to play while they wait for their appointment to make them feel more comfortable. It is important for your child to have routine dental examinations, so we strive to ensure every visit is a fun one.
Your Child’s First Visit
Here are a few tips from our team to prepare your child for his/her first dental visit and help their first experience go easily:- Make an appointment for a time of day that works best for your child. Try to avoid their nap time.
- Try not to convey anxiety to your child. Remain composed and relaxed. Tell your child about the visit, but don't go into detail. Let the dentist and hygienist clarify and answer your child's questions.
- Be careful what you say around your child. Never let your child hear of any past bad dental visits, either experienced by yourself, siblings or their peers. Be aware not to use words like “needle", “drill", “shot", “pinch", “yank", or “pull". Never tell your child that something may or may not “hurt".
- Do not be alarmed if your child cries during the first visit. Crying is perfectly normal during your child's first visit. Remain positive and supportive, and work with the hygienist during this time.
- Allow some alone time for your child and hygienist. When possible, leave your child alone with the dentist and staff. Our team will create a comfortable environment for your child.
