Remain calm kids feed off of their parents. Trust us, if you're relaxed, your kids will be also. (Deep breaths now everyone.)
Use an electric toothbrush at home, and brush when your kids are around. You'll find that it sounds much like the instruments we use at office, and your kids won't be startled or frightened by the noise when they arrive. (And it's good for you anyway.)
If your child somehow knocks out an adult tooth, immediately put it in milk (yes, milk!) and immediately call our office.
Excessive sippy cup/juice use almost always leads to decay (so please, before we get snippy, stop the sippy.)
Pacis need to go. Give em to Santa, the Easter Bunny, trade them for Target cards.
Let siblings come together for a first visit some of our best teachers are big brothers and sisters.
Dont fight about brushing. Even a little brushing in a little mouth goes a long way. (Save the screaming match for broccoli.)
It takes a little help from you to get the job done. Understand that what your child needs might not be what he/she wants. Always ask questions. And realize there are options in choosing directions in treatment.
