Examining How Parents Can Help Children Prepare for First White Fillings from Dentist in Greensboro, NC

Dr. Isharani and the team at Triad Pediatric Dentistry in Greensboro, NC, provide white dental fillings to children suffering from tooth decay and want to make the experience as stress-free as possible for every child.

Examining How Parents Can Help Children Prepare for First White Fillings from Dentist in Greensboro, NC Area

When a dentist must tell Mom or Dad that they have found some sticky spots in the back of the mouth, it means that a white dental filling is coming. Some kids may have already gone through receiving a filling and realizing it is not a big deal. Still, if your child needs their first filling, there are some steps you can take to help alleviate any anxiety or fear that may be associated with this.

Attitude and Language

The attitude exuded by a parent and the language used to explain what is about to happen are critical components in helping keep a child calm. A relaxed, confident, and positive parent will be able to project this same attitude to a child. Imagine a parent who does just the opposite and introduces stress into the environment because their child has a cavity. I bet that child is going to stress right along with Mom/Dad. Now, let us imagine a parent who takes the news in stride and explains to their child that the dentist needs to just clean some “sugar bugs” out of their teeth. There is no need to talk about pain or consequences when framing the situation. Telling a child they are going to get a filling because they failed at brushing their teeth or flossing is not going to help prepare them. That isn’t saying that honesty is unnecessary but try your best to use language that isn’t going to frighten and avoid imparting your own anxieties onto your child.

Sedation

If your child has any anxiety about the procedure, you should discuss sedation options with the dentist in preparation for a white dental filling. Many pediatric dentists offer nitrous oxide or oral sedation options to reduce anxiety in children and provide pain relief.

Preparing your child for their first dental filling goes a long way in shaping how they feel about the dentist moving forward in life. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Sona Isharani and the team at Triad Pediatric Dentistry in Greensboro, NC, please call (336) 804-8668.

I brought my child in to be seen by Dr. Isharani. Wow!!! She was very thorough and detailed in the dental examination and during the procedure that my child had to have done. Her aftercare education was superb! My child felt at ease with her as she took the time to tell him everything that was going to happen before it happened and was very compassionate and gentle in her approach. The office staff rocked too! This was an awesome dental experience for my child and myself!
