Looking for a family dentist in Chislehurst
Your family is the most important part of your life, to many people, the family is the support mechanism that keeps their feet on the ground and provides something more than meaning to life. For many of us settling down and starting a family is often an exciting time that is filled with hope and dreams, yet somehow we are also aware of the mass of responsibilities that a family of our own brings.
If you have started your own family with one or more children then you will have experienced an almost overwhelming range of emotions that comes along with the care and worry that comes with ensuring that every aspect of their lives is monitored and cared for. One of the main areas that you may worry about, as a parent, is the health and development of your child, we must include your child’s oral health within this.
We are aware that parents will teach their children about the need to clean their teeth twice a day so that they will grow up with strong and healthy teeth that will last them an entire lifetime, but this is not the only tool available to parents when it comes to their children’s teeth.
At Jes Dental Studio we want to invite all our patients who are also parents of young children to feel they can ask to register them with our dentist in Chislehurst, as we feel it is best for your entire family to be registered at the same dental practice when possible.
Helping children to understand
We know that a dentist in Chislehurst may seem like a strange and scary place to visit in a child’s mind, especially if it is the first time they visit, this is due to a lack of understanding and the idea of the dental practice being a new one in their mind.
We would recommend that rather than having your child have an oral health examination on their visit you bring them along to visit when mum or dad are having their oral health check-up, this may prove to be a good way to ease a child into the idea of professionals helping them with their oral health needs and should help to bring about natural co-operation and engagement.
If you allow your child to watch mum or dad undergo an oral health examination this may help them to understand that the special doctors that are to be found at the dental practice are trying to help people to have the best quality oral health and hygiene possible. Once a child understands this and sees that their parents are happy to have a dental professional look after their teeth and gums then we are sure they will want to be like mum and dad and have the special doctor look after their teeth and gums.
We know that children often want to copy their parents and do the things that their parents do, this is why we recommend allowing your children to watch your oral health exam first.
