While appealing to the adult crowd has its own set of essentials, the needs and wants of your pediatric guests require a different, more careful approach that can at times be difficult to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that you and your practice are truly creating a comfortable and welcoming place for children, we\u2019ve assembled 6 simple tips to make your practice more inviting for pediatric patients. Parents and kids alike will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNDERSTANDING DENTAL VISIT ANXIETY IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be their first appointment or their tenth; the amount of visits doesn\u2019t really matter. The feeling of anxiety being in an unfamiliar place is a constant reality for kids. This anxiety could stem from a bad experience at a previous office, feeling the nervousness from a parent, or just the apprehension that comes with a new and unfamiliar experience \u2013 and this anxiety is a sliding scale. From a bit of hesitancy all the way to downright dread, kids experience it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing a safe space and rolling out the welcome mat for kids requires sensitivity, kindness, and strategic planning. It\u2019s about creating an environment that everyone will feel relaxed in, and let them know they\u2019re with a trustworthy adult. It\u2019s easier than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tip1\"><strong>Tip #1: Transform Waiting Time into Fun Time at Your Pediatric Dental Office<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardest part of a dental visit for many families is the minutes before the appointment itself. Since the wait is often unavoidable, use it to your advantage by setting the tone with a wow-worthy reception area. Think helpful, fun, and welcoming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Distractions are a must. Hands-on activities like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/product\/kids-play-area-design\/\">gaming stations<\/a>, books, coloring pages, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/product\/wall-murals\/#i-spy-murals\">I Spy murals<\/a>&nbsp;are enjoyable and distracting.

If the reception staff extends less attention to the child over their accompanying adult, it can sometimes make them feel left out or ignored. The Kids Concierge is a quick fix to this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage your Kids Concierge to step from behind the counter and physically greet pediatric patients. Getting on their level to exchange a fist-bump or handshake is a great way to build rapport and comfort, and make kids feel like they have a friend in the office. This staff member can engage with children from the moment they walk through the door, through the waiting process, and walk them to their chair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Establish trust by including the child in the conversation about their appointment. If they feel like they are part of the process, it can eliminate some of the fear of the unknown.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tip3\"><strong>Tip #3: Confidence is Key in Pediatric Dentistry<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When children are anxious, they may not be overly enthusiastic to comply with directions.

Ask about their hobbies, passions, games, sports \u2013 anything they\u2019re interested in to open the conversation to inquiry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be prepared! Find a way to get in the \u201cknow\u201d with what the youth are into, so you can have engaging conversations and include references they\u2019ll recognize while answering their questions.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tip6\"><strong>Tip #6: End Dental Appointment Visits on a High Note with Prizes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reward good visits and soothe tougher visits with prizes! Place a visible prize box or toy vending machine near the front desk and have your Kids Concierge mention to the pediatric patient that after their visit they\u2019ll be able to choose whichever prize they\u2019d like. The simple fixation on a small but meaningful item will make the visit go by in a flash.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize-area.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize-area.jpg 600w, https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize-area-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize.jpg 600w, https:\/\/idskids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prize-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A tangible reward they can take home is also something they\u2019ll remember long after the visit \u2013 creating a positive association with the dentist as opposed to a negative one.
