Many parents oversimplify the matter of taking their children to the dentist, thinking that it’s just a dental visit or a tooth extraction, isn’t it? What’s so complicated about it? In fact, where you think so simple! Children’s dentists are not so good at this job. The whole consultation process may involve various aspects, including the child’s cooperation, the severity of caries, the need for X-rays, general health, parental acceptance and awareness, and communication, etc. Every child is different. Every child is different, every parent is different, and a comprehensive evaluation is needed before a specific and detailed treatment plan can be developed. A good treatment plan should be like this: 1, first choose a trustworthy pediatric dentist; 2, if the conditions allow can be made through the Internet to get preliminary communication with the dentist, before the consultation to understand the child’s situation, but also may be able to get in advance some helpful advice on dental care and protection; 3, make an appointment for the first visit. The first visit to the child is very important, should be driven by curiosity, so that the child to play and explore the mindset and mode to complete the first interaction with the dentist, the child’s first impression of the dentist is also very important, even the color of the dentist’s clothes are very important factors. It’s not a bad idea for parents to be in the mindset that they can visualize their first visit as a special playful exploration for their child. Depending on the age of the child and the degree of cooperation, the first visit should focus on communication and the simplest examination and treatment. The first visit should not involve anesthesia, deep caries treatment, endodontic treatment, and in particular, avoid the first tooth extraction (unless in special circumstances). Clinical often encountered some parents for the first time to bring their children to see the dentist asked the dentist to fill all the cavities, parents can understand the psychology (busy work is not easy to find the time to live far away to come to a really not easy …), such treatment is convenient for parents, but the child is very unfavorable to the child’s experience will be very poor, but also may be the first clinic to feel the pain of the dental visit! In addition to the fact that the first visit to the dentist to arrange for each child’s treatment time is often limited, it is often difficult to guarantee the efficacy of the treatment in a hurry. During the first visit, the dentist will systematically examine the child’s entire mouth and give specific treatment plans and recommendations based on the child’s cooperation and general condition. Many severely decayed teeth may involve x-rays, endodontic treatment (“nerve killing”), local anesthesia (modern pediatric dentistry places great emphasis on painlessness and comfort), extractions, and even one-time dentistry under general anesthesia (DGA technique). Another important part of the first visit is the full communication between the parents and the dentist. This is where something called trust becomes very important (an experienced dentist can basically feel whether or not they are being trusted by just meeting the parents’ eyes or just talking to them for a few moments), and with this gold medal, the dentist can start to think about the specific treatment plan and follow-up appointments. Of course, there will still be a lot of parents first consultation is mainly to consult the child’s dental condition and then consider, or want to ask a few more expert opinion, and then finally decide on the treatment plan, these are completely understandable (each family is just a baby, can not afford to be sloppy) 4, follow-up mode: including temporary observation of the regular examination follow-up and the need to intervene in the treatment of therapeutic follow-up. Children’s check-up follow-up generally according to each child’s situation, the dentist will recommend 3-6 months is appropriate. For therapeutic follow-up, the order of treatment will be arranged in a simple and then complex manner, with shallow caries followed by deep caries, then endodontic treatment and finally extraction, 1-2 teeth at a time, or one area at a time, with a follow-up visit every 1-2 weeks. Of course, each child’s situation is different, but also according to the specific circumstances at the time of treatment, in accordance with the dentist’s suggested arrangements, to accompany the child to complete a wonderful adventure, painless and comfortable dental experience, and together to experience the charm of modern children’s dentistry …… So, take your child to see a dentist is really not so simple as you think, before you see a dentist, please Before visiting the dentist, please put more effort, do your homework before the consultation, set a good plan and strategy, I believe that your child will definitely give you a surprise, and will love to visit the dentist on a regular basis.
