Ensuring your child's first trip to the dentist is positive will reap rewards for the rest of their life:

- Try not to relay any of your own dental fears to your child.
- Book your child's first appointment during the morning when they are well-rested and have eaten, rather than at a time they would usually be napping.
- During this first visit the dentist will examine your child's teeth, give them a clean and discuss their oral care routine.

Working with a dentist you trust and whom you feel has a great rapport with your child is important.
