Importance of the First Pediatric Dentistry Appointment

• The first appointment is essential for the Pediatric Dentist to get to know the child and everything related to them.
• Dialogue is the foundation for building a bond of trust. This consultation requires time and psychological approach.
• Children’s dental care is different from adult care. We must provide young patients with a comfortable and playful experience, encouraging their interaction—this is a challenge and a goal for the Pediatric Dentist.
• The “tell-show-do” technique, a positive attitude, and lots of care… make all the difference.
• The dentist-child-parents triad is the key to successful treatment!
