How Sensory Sensitivities Affect Children During Dental Visits

🦷 Sensory Sensitivities at the Dentist
Some kids feel overwhelmed during dental visits due to sensory challenges. Here's how pediatric dentists make it easier:

✅ Resisting the Chair – Let them explore first; use calm encouragement
✅ Dental Tools & Textures – Introduce slowly, explain in kid-friendly terms
✅ Fluoride Reactions – Offer flavors, use toys or music for distraction
✅ Dental Sounds – Try noise-canceling headphones or soft music
✅ Bright Lights – Use sunglasses or dim the lights

👧 A sensory-friendly approach helps kids feel safe and supported.
