Behavior Management PDF Print E-mail

Every child is unique. And when it comes to behavior management, Dr. Vafa and his friendly, experienced dental team draw from a variety of techniques and experiences to ensure a pleasant dental experience for your child.

We calm your child, educate them, and reward them for good behavior.

By exercising positive reinforcement and using a tell-show-do approach, we help your child better understand the care they are about to receive. And we do so in terms they can understand. We also get you, the parent, more involved in their care, so that everyone is at the same level of understanding.

In the case of special needs, we can provide nitrous oxide or conscious sedation, so that your child can relax and rest comfortably throughout their treatment and have little to no memory of the experience.

Dr. Bruce VAFA DDS considers Behavior management as the priority of Children Dentistry

 

Your Child First Visit

According to both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and Dr. Vafa, your child should visit the dentist by their 1st birthday. The first visit is more informative and “get to know” for both you and your little one. We provide your child with fun dental activities, and Dr. Vafa and his team will visually exam your child and explain everything you need to know to get your child started on the right path to great oral health. The first visit can truly be a great experience!

Primary Teeth

Although primary teeth, or baby teeth, fall out, it is important to maintain their health. Problems with primary teeth lead to problems with baby teeth, so proper oral hygiene must be maintained and cavities of primary teeth dealt with. Primary teeth ensure proper chewing and eating, provide space for the permanent teeth and guide them into the correct position, and permit normal development of jaw bone and muscles.
