Many children are fearful or nervous when they first go to the dentist, or they may be very anxious following a previous medical or dental experience. Our Paediatric Dentists understand these fears and concerns and have many years of experience in providing dental care to children of all ages, in the most compassionate and comfortable manner possible.
Sometimes these fears can be easily overcome by talking and explaining each part of the proposed treatment to the child before it happens. This can help build up to build up their confidence and give them the ability to deal with the dental appointment , even though they are anxious.
Part of specialist paediatric dental training includes early childhood development and childhood psychology and we use this with behaviour management techniques to help overcome their fears.
However, in some instances children are unable to cope and may require more advanced techniques.
