Keep it light, positive, and fun! Avoid using words like “pain” or “needle,” or “be brave”, and instead talk about the visit as a chance to count teeth, take some cool pictures, or meet new friends. At Be Well Dental, we use a gentle, mindful approach to help children feel safe and confident. Many of our team are parents themselves, so we know how to help little ones feel at ease.
