Naturally, children fear unknown things. There are moments from the earliest parts of childhood where doctor’s offices can be unpleasant. Vaccinations would be one example. Once a child learns to have a fear response to appointments, anxiety can fester and grow to a point that seems almost unbearable. As parents, we feel our children’s fear and pain, but a new study confirms that we must be careful not to transmit our own fears onto our children. Scientists at the Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid studied an association between the levels of fear in parents and their , noting that father’s have a particular influence on phobias.
The study was published in the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry. Researchers collected data on 183 children in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, between the ages of 7 and 12. The fear levels between children and parents were interlinked with fathers being identified as the key factor in the equation. Fathers tend to have a mediating variable, and were noted to set the tone in families regarding fear of the dentist. Children tended to look to their fathers as their role model for emotional reactions.
As a parent, you have the power to set the tone for your children when it comes their feelings about going to the dentist. Help them feel positive by projecting excitement over how great they’ll feel with a healthy smile. To make an appointment at our 92504 dentist office, call (951) 689-5031. We welcome patients of all ages from Riverside and surrounding areas.
We cannot overstate the importance of locating a family dentist you can trust to provide excellent dental care. Both you and your family members place a great deal of confidence in a family dentist’s ability to provide accurate diagnoses, thorough treatment, and compassionate preventive care. Finding the right dentist requires some research and knowing what to look for in a practice. Your Moreno Valley dentists offer some factors you should consider when choosing a family dentist.
First, you need to consider who in your family looks to you to arrange for their dental care. If you have children, or if you and your spouse have considered having children in the near future, you will want to select a pediatric dentist who specializes in treating children and who has an office that features kid-friendly amenities like a playroom, chair side DVD players, or a prize chest.

The most important tool for maintainin at Oasis Family Dental offer these pointers for finding the best toothbrush for you.
Ideally, the toothbrush you pick out should be large enough for you to effectively reach and clean every one of your teeth, while the handle needs to be long enough for you to successfully maneuver it in your mouth. The heads of most toothbrushes sold in the stores are an inch long and half-an-inch wide. For most people, that should work fine. If it does prove to be the wrong size for you, talk to your dentist about what size he or she recommends.

We often think of stress as bad, but a certain amount of stress is actually good. Our bodies and minds need stress to help them become, and remain, strong. The problem arises when we become overwhelmed by stress. Too much stress comes with a price, mentally and physically. Evidence of stress can present as frustration, irritability, lack of concentration, overeating, poor diet, and insufficient exercise. Some people become depressed, while others experience chronic headaches, bodily aches and pains, weight fluctuations, or insufficient sleep. Stress can negatively impact dental health, as well, as your Corona general dentist explains in this post. (more…)

Couldn’t be happier with the results of my bridge/crown work performed by Dr.Dalida, and Rosa is the best dental assistant I’ve ever had – and I’ve had many procedures with almost all forms of dentistry over the years due to an industrial accident. Would absolutely recommend the office!
