Do your kids suffer from dental anxiety?

Visiting the pediatric dentist doesn’t have to be a struggle

Between the loud noises, gleaning white surfaces and pointy tools, the dentist can be a very intimidating space for children — and for adults too! An intimidating dental practice can make children reluctant to go or downright dread it all together.
