FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
First Visit to the Dentist
How Do You Handle the Fearful Child?
Our bright, cheerful
office environment and experienced staff will
help make your child’s visit fun and enjoyable. We encourage your
child to watch other children have their x-rays taken, teeth cleaned,
and examination completed by
the Doctor.
We utilize nitrous oxide, sometimes called "relaxing air," “magic air,”
or “laughing gas” for our
apprehensive patients. A very safe, odorless gas, it is used to
relieve anxiety and calm your child during treatment.
You may also see Papoose Boards or “Blue Blankets” used in our office.
These
are used for the safety of your child and our staff. The Papoose
Board was originally developed for use in hospital emergency rooms
for safe patient treatment and care. If your child is unable
to cooperate during dental treatment, it may be necessary to
stabilize your child by using a Papoose Board to keep his/her head,
arms, body, and legs still.
