Please discuss the positive aspects of dentistry with your child. One way to convey good feelings to your child about dental visits is to remind them that going to the dentist is a sign that they are growing up. You can explain that Dr. Poorman will count and take pictures of his/her teeth.

Please do not tell your child that the "dentist will not hurt" as this may never have entered his/her mind. Instead, you may wish to assure your child that Dr. Poorman will be gentle and friendly. Also, please avoid using the words needle, shot, pull or any other words suggesting unpleasantness.

Expect your child to do well and enjoy their visit to our office and chances are he/she will do exactly that!
