Why A Good Smile Matters

By Rey Vetangelo


Going to the dentist can be intimidating, and it can be especially difficult when you are taking your small child for the first time. However, oral care is extremely important, so helping your child to feel comfortable with the dentist is a great way to ensure that their mouths stay healthy for the rest of their lives.

When you take seeing the dentist as part of a life-long goal, then you can start to see why choosing the right dentist can be so important. You want to find someone who will support you on your journey, who knows you personally and knows your family, too. You want a dentist you can trust-someone who has your long-term interests at heart, and won't recommend unneeded procedures to make a quick buck.

Unfortunately, not all dental practices are focused on personal relationships with their patients. Many are part of corporate conglomerates, where cavities and root canals are taken care of on a mass scale. It's all part of their business routine. Corporate dentistry is about one thing-making money.

When a child is fearful, stressed, or just anxious there can be some great help from a mother who comes to aid the child with a hug and a smile. There something both reassuring and calming when someone tells you that everything is going to be ok especially when they do so with a smile. This is especially important for doctors who need to help a patient heal both physically and mentally at times. Great doctors have good smiles that make people feel much better just like medicine does.

Beyond regular brushing and flossing habits, regular dental attendance will help your child become comfortable with visiting the dentist. That way your child will learn to enjoy trips to the dentist, and they will never learn to dread the dentist office in the way that many adults do.

At a corporate dental practice, you won't have much of a chance to get to know everyone in the office because there are so many people working there. It's unlikely that you'll even have the same dentist every time you go in for your regular checkup.

3. One more excellent benefit of making sure your child attends the dentist regularly is that it can teach them about responsibility. The dentist's office is a great opportunity to show the connection between choices and consequences. If they have been eating too many sweets, they can safely begin to see the toll it can take on their teeth.

When you visit a family dental practice, on the other hand, you're dealing with a small, intimate staff that handles everything in-house. Not only do you get to know your dentist over the years, you get to know the person at the front desk who schedules your appointments, and the assistants who help clean your teeth. Everyone is focused on one thing-making your experience more enjoyable and helping you achieve your dental goals.
