How to Help Child with Fear of Dentist

Start talking about the dentist and oral hygiene early and make it a part of everyday life in order to normalize it for your dentistry for children. The key is to avoid negative language or terrifying connotations, such as the word “drill.” Use some fun terms your kids can grasp, like “sugar bugs” instead of plaque. And whatever you do, don’t mention pain, even if all you’re saying is, “It won’t hurt.”
