Toothache in children not only cause sleepless night for the little ones but also for their parents. The situation worsen if the child is afraid of dental visits and rejects dental treatment.
We are here to ensure your child's dental visit are pleasant and enjoyable. We understand that dental visit can be challenging for children with dental phobia. Through proper behavioural management, we strive to make their dental experience enjoyable, and many even become comfortable with dental treatments.

How should I prepare my child before dental visit?
You may tell your child what will happen during the visit with simple and positive terms, eg: counting your teeth, clean and brush them and ensure they are healthy.
Stay positive and avoid sharing negative dental experience you might had.
Read books or watch videos that explain dental visit in a fun way.
Pretend to be the dentist and let your child be the patient. Use a toothbrush to count their teeth - this may help them familiar with what might happen during the actual visit.
