<p>Taking your child to a dentist tuned in specifically to children’s needs can help alleviate the stress and anxiety that comes with visits. This allows for a positive association at a young age with dental hygiene and helps curate healthy lifelong habits. Our staff is warm and used to engaging with children, allowing for easy and fun interactions as soon as each child walks through the door.</p>
<p>A kid friendly dentist can make dentistry a pleasant experience for children of any age, even your kindergartener. Kid friendly dentists have the expertise needed to make little ones feel safe and sound in the dentist’s chair. It is essential for children to get the dental care they need early on, so parents should never delay to get them the treatment they need.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Our waiting room is kid friendly, ensuring our patients are at optimum comfort from the moment they walk through the door. We know that kids do not have the same patience as adults, so we do not think they need to have the same waiting space. Child friendly furniture, toys, reading materials, and other safe and fun items are available to entertain little hands and minds while they wait.</p>
<p>We also know that not all supplies are created equal. Dental tools made for adults are often too large to work correctly for procedures in smaller mouths and can cause discomfort or even damage. Our instruments and supplies are varied to fit even our littlest patients' needs.</p>

<p>It is also crucial to note that oral health is inextricably linked to overall health. Any tooth decay or gum disease may lead to other forms of disease later on. As such, a kid friendly dentist will closely monitor a child’s gum health. A kid friendly dentist must also closely monitor a child’s baby teeth, as these effectively act as placeholders for the permanent teeth.</p>

<p>A kid friendly dentist will also be familiar with behavioral techniques to help reduce fear and anxiety. These can include calming techniques and methods to help diffuse the stress that comes with painful or uncomfortable procedures. For instance, they may use the "teach back" technique to ensure that patients understand what they have learned about oral hygiene in a stress-free manner.</p>
<p>A kid friendly dentist is perfect for children who are intimidated by the prospect of being in the dentist’s chair. We communicate with them in simple and easy-to-understand terms to explain what we are doing. We are careful not to use scary jargon or speak in a way that may cause a patient to feel intimidated. It is important for us that our patients understand what we are trying to convey and feel like they are part of the process. Trust is integral in a healthy relationship, and we know good communication is vital in achieving that.</p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Yes, at University Dental Associates, we explain to your child how they can maintain proper oral hygiene. We know this is new to our patients and that it takes practice to create habits. We give both our patients and their parents specific instructions on what the children should do, how to do it, and how often.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Give us a call, and we may be able to schedule an office tour for you and your little one. This will allow you to meet the staff to create more of a sense of familiarity when the actual appointment comes around. It also gives your child a chance to see where they will be sitting during the appointment and ask questions about tools and other items that may be in the office.</span></p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">While you ultimately have the choice of whether to accompany your child, keep in mind that the <a title="Read more about America’s Pediatric Dentists" href="https://www.aapd.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Kid-Friendly-Dentist">American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry</a> encourages parents of older children to stay in the waiting room. Younger children may benefit from having a parent present in the room, but it is best to keep out of sight for the duration of the visit. As a silent observer, you can allow the dentist to connect with the patient and establish trust with your child.</span></p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">An ideal patient for a kid friendly dentist is a youth who may not be comfortable yet in an adult setting. Someone who needs to learn about oral hygiene and is willing to learn and practice dental health basics is a perfect candidate. The child friendly atmosphere can help an otherwise unsure youth wade into appointments in a pressure-free setting.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">If your child has been to a dental professional in the past, bring along the records. If there are medical issues that might affect your child’s oral health, be sure to bring them as well. Have all insurance cards and information on hand so you can properly fill out the forms upon arrival and copies can be made in the office. Finally, if your child has a stuffed animal or another toy that offers emotional solace, bring it along for extra comfort.</span></p>

However, a flexible spending account, or FSA, is often helpful when it comes to picking up the financial slack. Check with your employer to review your FSA options. It is important to get your child's dental exams scheduled regularly and begin creating a relationship.
