What is right for you and your family?
When first looking for an oral health care provider, the first go-to aspect of the search is the distance from your home or location of work, but alongside this needs to be how suitable the dental practice is for you and your family. Having one dental team for all of you has numerous benefits including reducing the attendance time for regular check-ups as you can have them done in one go as opposed to spread out over a variety of times and locations. For the younger members, having appointments together enables them to view your appointment first creating a sense of ease, essentially a monkey-see, monkey-do aspect to the process. Although some of these things may seem rather small things to consider, the actual choosing of a dental practice is extremely important and one that should not be overlooked.
Reducing and potentially eliminating fears towards the Dentist in Waterlooville
For children who have regularly attended the dental practice with their family from as young as 6 months old, the likelihood of them gaining a phobia over the visits is minimal as opposed to children who have not had this consistency. Studies have shown that adults with phobias of the dentist were often not regular attendees as children and their unease has, in part, stemmed from this. At Cowplain Dental Practice we want every single patient, no matter their age, to feel welcome, safe and content throughout each appointment which is why we encourage whole families to keep on top of the check-up appointments.
