Every parent knows how difficult it can be to convince children to visit the dentist. Children are inherently afraid of doctors and dentists. Many children also have anxiety problems. For this reason, it can be very difficult to convince the child and take him/her to the dentist. If your child doesn't want to visit the dentist, you should not ignore it. This is because oral health is very important in children. Negligence can have serious problems in the later years. If your child doesn't want to come to the dental clinic with you, there are some ways to convince him/her and overcome fears. Here are some ways... The power of talking: Talking to the child directly about the importance of proper dental health can have very positive results. Talking will be more effective in children who can understand better. Talk to your child in a convincing tone and tell him or her why it is important to visit the dentist and maintain good oral health. You can also mention about the various conditions that affect the teeth, which may result if proper oral health is not maintained. Reward your child: Rewarding your child is a very powerful motivating factor. Just tell your child that you will be buying him that toy he always wants if he visits the dentist without any fear. You don't have to give costly rewards. A small toy, a chocolate or even a praise in front of others can do wonders. Using a reward system can also be beneficial to the child in other ways. For example, you can control your child's other habits using rewards. Sibling rivalry: Sibling rivalry is very common among children. Though it can be bad, you can leverage it to control your children and shape them better. If you want to eliminate the fear of the dentist in your children, just put a competition between them. Just tell them that you will be rewarding whoever behaves the most decently at the dentist's. However, ensure that there are no hard feelings. It is also essential to control sibling rivalry as it can have serious consequences later on. That said, sibling rivalry is very effective in controlling your children and shaping them. In some cases, none of these may work. Even professional counseling may not provide effective results. In such cases, it is better to go for sleep dentistry or sedation dentistry. This is a good option if your child suffers from chronic dental phobia. You can contact your dentist to check if this option may be available in the case of your child.
