See the dentist before the first birthday.
Early dental visits get your child used to the dentist and can prevent dental problems and anxiety about dental procedures in the future

Practice at home.
Have your kids sit in a recliner or on the couch and pretend to examine and clean their teeth at home so they’ll know what to expect.

Make it fun.
Bring a favorite book or toy for a sense of familiarity and comfort.

Be positive.
Avoid talking about pain or discomfort and emphasize how healthy their teeth will be
