Simple Steps Can Help Children Feel Comfortable at the Dentist, Says Panchkula Clinic

Panchkula, Haryana, October 30, 2026: Dental anxiety is common in children, but parents can reduce it with a few simple habits, according to Dr Neetu’s Multi-speciality Dental Clinic in Sector 8, Panchkula.

The clinic recommends that parents stay positive and avoid words like “pain,” “injection” or “drill” before a visit. Dentists should never be used as a threat, since saying “the dentist will give you an injection if you don’t brush” can create lasting fear. Other tips include scheduling visits when the child is rested and fed, playing pretend dentist at home, and praising the child afterwards with a non-sugary reward such as a sticker or an extra story.

“Children pick up on their parents’ feelings very quickly,” said Dr. Neetu B. Narula. “When the first experience is friendly and unhurried, children are far more likely to build healthy habits for life.”

The clinic also reminds parents of daily basics: brush twice a day from the first tooth, use a rice-grain-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste for young children and a pea-sized amount from ages 3 to 6, supervise brushing until around age 8, and keep sweets to mealtimes. In case of a knocked-out permanent tooth, parents should keep it in milk and reach a dentist as quickly as possible.
