We're looking forward to seeing all the little ones in half term next week!! For some of them it is their first visit so we thought we'd share the most important advice on preparing your child for their appointment: Children can sense fear in their parents, so it is important not to let your child feel that a visit to the dental team is something to be worried about. Try to be supportive if your child needs to have any dental treatment. If you have any fears of your own about going to the dentist, don't let your child hear you talk about them.

Regular visits to the dental team are essential in helping your child get used to the surroundings and what happens there.
