• When looking for a kids dentist, you need to determine if the office offers a fun and welcoming environment. You want your child to feel at ease and almost as if they were going to do fun activity. Check out the design of the office and see if it feels uplifting and if the staff is kind and friendly and uses positive language toward you and your child.

• Children’s teeth are more prone to tooth decay than adults, so it is important that your kids dentist takes a preventative approach rather than a reactive one. You want your kids dentist to be able to recognize problems before they get worse and need more work than was necessary before it got out of hand.

• You want your kids dentist to be knowledgeable and know how to handle any dental problem that may present itself during a checkup. Having knowledge on different procedures for children is an important thing to keep in mind when picking your child’s dentist.

These are just a few things to look for when you are choosing a kids dentist. Also, you know how your child works and what he/she will respond to, so make sure that the dentist you choose will be able to work with you and your child to make going to the dentist a pleasant experience. Here at Goodall Family Dentistry, we strive to provide a welcoming and positive atmosphere for you and your children. Give us a call today to set up an appointment.
