If you experience anxiety when you visit the dentist, you may be passing along your fears to you child without noticing. Be aware of your behaviours and the language you use when around your kids before and after visiting the dentist. If you talk about how much you dislike the experience, exhibit physical manifestations of fear, or communicate other negative feelings you may have about your dental visit to your child, they may interpret this as normal behaviour and could end up reacting the same way. Whatever the reason for your own dental anxieties, try not to instil them in your child so that they learn to see regular dental visits as a normal part of their health care routine.
