That trip to the dentist was not to stress the child, it is necessary to prepare properly.
Tell the doctor about your child's features. Some children are shy, others - restless. To the doctor to get in touch with your child first visit, be better to talk about the nature of your tomboy.
Tell your child the truth. Children can not lie, otherwise they'll lose their trust, and then in no case will not agree to go to the doctor. So tell the truth, that you're going to go to the dentist, which looks (considers) teeth.
Beforehand think about the present. In some clinics for children give gifts whenever you visit the dentist. If this tradition is not wound up in the hospital where you are going to go with the child, arrange with your doctor about the present. Then you buy some small toy, and the doctor handed it to the child, so he had the motivation to come back to the reception.
In no case do not tell the child about their negative experience. In the family circle can not remember all the unpleasant and scary stories about visiting the dentist. Even if you are sure that the child does not hear your story, it is still necessary to avoid such conversations. Children hear and feel a lot more than adults think.
Getting to know your dentist does not have to start with the treatment. The first visit is needed to ensure that the doctor and the child met. Therefore, if there is no acute process in the teeth, it is best if the doctor just to talk with your child, show him the office equipment. The child must get used to the sounds, smells, lighting. Then he will trust, he will understand that there is no danger. It is advisable to first visit ended in the usual hygiene, ie, doctor-child brushed my teeth. This is to ensure that the child felt the stranger produces movement in his mouth.
Do not tighten with the next visit. If the doctor examined his teeth, he said treatment is necessary, the next visit is better to carry out in a day or two after they met, until the child has not forgotten the first experience. If the teeth are healthy and do not require treatment, then the next scheduled visit is in 3 months.
