Before & After Tips for Visits to a Children's Dentist in Providence

Welcome to Providence Children's Dentist! Here are some helpful tips for before and after your child's dental visit.
What to Bring
Before the visit, make sure to bring your child's health insurance information, a list of any medications they're taking, and any medical or dental records. A favorite toy or blanket can also help comfort them.
How to Talk About the Dentist
Discuss the dentist in a positive light to help alleviate any fears your child might have. Avoid using words like 'pain' or 'shots' that could invoke anxiety.
Choosing the Right Appointment Time
Choose the right appointment time. For many children, a morning appointment when they are well-rested and cooperative works best.
Post-Visit Care - Handling Follow-Ups
After the visit, handle follow-ups by keeping a calendar or setting reminders to ensure you don’t forget future appointments.
Discussing the Visit with Your Child
Discuss the visit with your child. Ask them what they liked best and talk about what will happen next, if applicable.
Establishing a Routine
Establish a routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and using mouthwash if recommended by your dentist.
