At the dental offices of David Wilhite DDS, we understand that the dentist’s office can be an intimidating place for children. We believe that fear of the dentist stems from the unknown, not from inherent dental anxiety. Our pediatric dental services are designed to familiarize children with dental care in a compassionate, caring, and gentle manner, transforming dental visits into positive experiences.
Laying the Foundation for a Fear-Free Experience
Children learn from their environment, and early experiences with oral health care at home set the stage for their perception of dental visits. We encourage parents to view dental care as a natural extension of home routines, promoting a positive outlook on dental health from an early age. Our goal is to integrate dental visits into a child’s life seamlessly, ensuring they understand that caring for their teeth is both important and routine.
The Power of Positive Language
Words have a significant impact on a child’s perception and emotions. Phrases like “Don’t be scared” or “It won’t hurt” can unintentionally introduce fear. At David Wilhite DDS, we are mindful of our language, opting for positive and encouraging words to discuss dental care. Our communication is designed to build trust and confidence, ensuring children feel safe and understood.
