Introducing Kids To Dental Visits: Tips For Parents

When I became a parent, I knew that I wanted to help my kids be comfortable with the dentist from a very young age. I started them with routine dental visits as babies so that those appointments were just a normal part of the schedule.

I created this site to share my tips to help other parents transition their children into a comfort zone with the dentist.
