So when your child first comes to the office, you can expect them to be in a very calm environment. For children who have never been to the dentist we make it a special appointment. They can explore the operatory to look at the things. They can try out the suction, that kind of thing just to become familiar so it’s, it’s not a scary thing.
Parents are allowed back in the, the treatment room so that, if the patient feels more comfortable that way, or if the parents really want or need to be back there, we’re definitely accommodating for that.
