Our compassionate team members are excellent in this capacity and always work hard to make children feel safe and at ease. If your child has special needs or is still feeling anxious after our soothing chat, we can discuss nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to quell any remaining nerves. As a children’s sedation dentist in Miami, we can deliver nitrous oxide safely and effectively.
Of course, time with our team typically makes appointments fun for your child, and they will come to look forward to their visits.
Also, it’s essential to consider the following:
- Never talk about their upcoming appointment negatively.
- Be sure to answer their questions in a way that isn’t frightening.
- Let our team know what concerns your child has about their dental visit.
Helping Children Feel at Ease in Our Miami Dental Office
Dental health is always a collaboration between the dentist and caregiver. For your part, never use words like “needle” or “drill” in connection with the dentist. Children have vivid imaginations and may visualize a terrifying scenario around these words.
Also, explain their treatment in easy-to-understand terms. For example, if they ask how the dentist fixes their cavity, let them know that the dentist gently “clears it from their tooth and applies a tooth-colored seal” to make the tooth happy and healthy.
If your child has questions or fears you are unsure how to address, share them with our compassionate team. We have extensive experience helping kids feel heard and enjoy educating them about their dental health.
For special needs children, we’re always happy to accommodate and will always do our best to provide a quiet and relaxing atmosphere!
