The Go-To Mom's Tips on Preparing Your Young Child for Their First Dental Appointment:
1. Call the office in advance and see what their procedures are (do they let children under 18 months sit on mommy's lap, do they give a sticker or prize afterward, or have dvd cartoon playing on the ceiling)
2. Let your child know that you are going to visit the dentist and that everybody goes to the dentist.
  Tell them that the dentist will:
  lean you back in a cool movable chair, count your teeth, show you how to clean them, give you a brand new tooth brush and maybe even a sticker or prize!
3. Tell your child there may be fun things to play with in the waiting room.
4. Tell them that some dentist offer sun glasses to so that you won't have to look at the bright lights when you lay back in the cool dental chair.
5. You can even "play dentist" at home to encourage them to view dental appointments as fun and exciting!
6. If parents remain cheery and upbeat when going to the dentist with their tot, there is a good chance that their children will adopt the same attitude!
