Children's Dental Health Month Tip #25: Know how to talk to your children about their dental visits

Allow and encourage your child to discuss any fears he or she might have about oral health visits, but do not mention the words'hurt' or 'pain'. Saying "it won't hurt" instills the possibility of pain in the child's thought process.
