You may choose whether or not you accompany your child to the treatment room his/her procedural appointment. Although we sense that some children do better without parents present, we are open to having you with your child. We even encourage it during their first procedural appointment. If you choose to be present, we suggest the following guidelines to improve the chances of a positive outcome:
• Allow us to prepare your child
• Be supportive of the practice’s terminology
• Anxiety is contagious. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your child will be.
• Please be a silent observer – let the movie distracts them
• This allows us to maintain communication with your child
• Children will normally listen to their parents instead of us and may not hear our guidance
• You might give incorrect or misleading information
• If asked to leave, be ready to immediately walk away
• Many children will try to control the situation
• “Acting out” is normal, but unacceptable during treatment
• This is intended to “short circuit” the control attempt
• We will continue to support your child at all times

What diet and nutritional advice can be offered for building strong teeth?
Experts agree that children need food from all the major food groups to grow properly and stay healthy. Too many carbohydrates, sugars (for example, from cake, cookies, candies, milk, fruit juice, and other sugary foods and beverages), and savory foods and starches (for example, pretzels and potato chips) can cause tooth decay. How long carbohydrates remain on the teeth is the main culprit that leads to tooth decay. Read more
The effects of fruit on kids teeth
We all know that fruit is full of vitamins and an important part of kids diets. But did you know that too much fruit (whether it’s fresh fruit, fruit juices, dried fruit or canned fruit) can have a negative effect and contribute to problems such as cavities and erosion, especially if your kids are grazing on fruit all day?
