Fear or anxiety in children when visiting the dentist is also a common problem as in adults. However, in children it is more fear of the unknown than the treatment itself, so there are several ways to handle it, in Ilzarbe clinic we will make the experience of visiting the dentist as easy and comfortable as possible for children and their parents.
Guidelines to follow to avoid fear or anxiety in children when visiting the dentist.
There are some very simple guidelines, first of all, always talk to the children before going to the dentist’s appointment, it is very important that they know where they are going and what will happen in their first contact when they go to the dental clinic.
Normally the first visit is a control visit, we can explain to our son/daughter that first we will make an inspection of their teeth using a mirror and if necessary an x-ray will be taken, depending on the urgency of the visit.
It is very important to choose a pediatric dentist who has experience in the treatment of children, in Ilzarbe Clinic we have the experience of the Dra. Elena Lorenzo She is a dentist with a passion for children, patient, friendly and sweet in the care of the little ones, taking care of their oral health from infancy to the adolescent age.
In our clinic at Avda. del Cid 40 in Valencia, we have adequate facilities, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the waiting room and inside the dental office, with television screens where they can choose what they want to see, cartoons, a movie, music videos … in this way they will feel relaxed during the dental procedure.
Once the visit is over, it is very important to praise and reward children for being brave and cooperative during dental treatment.
Trusting relationship between the dentist and children
In short, the key to establishing a trusting relationship with the dentist is to provide clear information, choose a good pediatric dentist, use relaxation and distraction techniques, and have the entire dental practice team cooperate from the time the child walks in the door until he or she leaves.
And undoubtedly, the experience of more than 40 years treating entire families makes Ilzarbe Dental Clinic the best clinic in Valencia to take care of the oral health of the little ones.
