In the Know for You to Know
Are you and your child excited to go to the Dentist? Do you feel relaxed, comfortable, secure and valued at your appointment? You will have all those happy feelings when you know you’re taking your child to your Pediatric Dental Home.
Your Dental Home
What is a Dental Home? Why do you need one? How do you establish a Dental Home?
Did you know that your Pediatrician’s office is your Medical Home? Yes it is.
In the same way you found a Pediatrician you and your child adore and established an ongoing relationship with them to provide comprehensive care for all your child’s needs in an easily accessible, coordinated and family centered way, you can create and establish your child’s Dental Home.
Yes you can establish your Dental Home and it is so rewarding! You don’t have to worry about some one different seeing your child each visit. Your family knows everyone in the office and they all know your family. Everything is easier and flows smoothly. You know your Pediatric Dentist and the entire team cares about providing optimal oral health care for your child. Plus you’ll have peace of mind if something comes up unexpectedly that the office has your back.
Looking for a Pediatric Dentist for your family? You can ask a family member, neighbor or your Pediatrician’s Office. You can also go to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s website — www.aapd.org and click on Find A Dentist (on the top row of tabs) to find an office convenient for you.
The benefits of your own Pediatric Dental Home go a long way toward assuring optimal oral health for your child’s lifetime.
Relaxed Comfortable and Fun
Feeling relaxed, comfortable, secure and valued in your child’s Dental Home.
Establishing good oral health care routines lays the foundation for a lifetime of stress free dental appointments. When you include regular dental visits as part of your child’s health checkups you are insuring that your child stays healthy overall and you are starting their routine. When your child’s mouth is healthy dental visits are positive, educational and fun. There is no stress or worry. This is why everyone is excited and happy to go to the Dentist!
Being Partners in this TOGETHER
Ask your questions, express your concerns. Tell your Pediatric Dentist how stressed you are about not getting to those back teeth or making brushing last longer than 2 seconds.
As Parent-Doctor Partners you work together with your Pediatric Dentist on educating you and your child about dental health. Learning is fun, learning is positive. Know that Pediatric Dentists are specially trained for your child’s specific oral health care needs and go the extra miles to build a lasting relationship on trust, respect and confidence.
As partners you are laying the foundation for your child’s lifetime of beautiful smiles and good oral health.
Now you’re smiling, laughing and excited for you and your child to go to your Dental visit! Don’t be surprised when your child doesn’t want to leave and wants to go back tomorrow.
