San Luis Obispo dentist offers tips for helping children overcome dentist anxiety


  • Start early. It is important to start dental visits early, so children become familiar with the dentist, the staff, the environment and dental tools. This helps them develop a positive association. Schedule their first dental visit around the age of 1, or when their first tooth appears. Regular checkups will ensure any dental issues are addressed early on, and your child will be more likely to have a positive experience.

“Discuss any issues your children may have with the family dentist before the visit. This gives the dentist important information that help relax the child and make the visit more pleasant,” says the San Luis Obispo dentist.

San Luis Obispo Family Dentistry provides patients with the utmost care in a friendly, courteous and professional manner. Services range from routine cleanings, teeth whitening, crowns, and everything in between. “We take the time to sit down with our patients, answer questions and ease any concerns,” says Dr. Ng. “Our commitment is that every patient leaves our office with a healthier mouth and brighter smile.”
