Tooth Fairy Day:
The Tooth Fairy has been visiting our office for some time now to meet the children and help teach good dental health habits.
A visit with the Tooth Fairy has been a highly successful first visit to the dentist for many children. A child is usually ready for a first visit by about age three. Positive talk at home about the Tooth Fairy and the dentist is most helpful. It is good to avoid phrases like, "You don't need to be afraid," or "They won't hurt you." These thoughts may never have entered your child's mind. Letting your child know what to expect in a calm and reassuring way is the best preparation for that special first visit.
Upon a visit at Tooth Fairy Day, the child is greeted with a name tag in the shape of a tooth. Then the child is introduced to one of the doctors. Parent and child accompany the doctor to one of the rooms where the child can go for a ride in the chair, squirt water and air from the instruments and become familiar with the office. The child is then escorted and introduced to the very lovely and friendly Tooth Fairy. She will chat with the youngster and spend some time getting acquainted. A Polaroid picture is taken to bring home and the child receives a goody bag and helium filled balloon.
This is a delightful visit for parent and child, and we trust that many a baby book is complete with a picture of the Tooth Fairy. There is no charge for this visit. The results are positive, making us only too happy to offer it to our patients and friends. You do not have to be a patient to come to Tooth Fairy Day. Friends are welcome!
