The network of dental clinics "Sa-Nata" employs the best pediatric specialists. Children's appointment here is not like a usual visit to the doctor, as we made sure that your baby feels comfortable, positive, fun and painless in Sa-Nata.

Children's specialist in "Sa-Nata" is not just a true professional and qualified dentist, it is, first of all, a competent psychologist.

A visit to the dentist in our clinic is more like an exciting game for a child than a treatment. Children are separate individuals, just like adults, and they need a special approach.

Therefore, in our network there is a separate special service called “psychological adaptation” or, as they also call it, “adaptation appointment”. What it is? Let's figure it out!

We recommend introducing your child to dentistry precisely at those stages when nothing bothers him yet. Then the adaptation will take place more gently and logically, without emotions and not on the basis of uncomfortable sensations, but consciously and with full understanding. For example, a visit for an examination and professional hygiene will be an excellent opportunity to introduce your child to this area of life.

Also recommend to make a psychological adaptation visit in the first half of the day, so that the baby does not think about the upcoming event and does not worry all day. The child should get enough sleep before the visit, not be hungry and not be disturbed by anything from domestic issues.

This visit usually takes place according to the rules of our little patient and nothing else, because he must feel comfortable and feel that he is in control of the situation. This is an opportunity to really make friends with the doctor and not see him as a scary and painful monster.

1. Establishing contact. Getting to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere (not in a dental chair), this can be a clinic lobby, a children's corner or a waiting area with an aquarium and a homely atmosphere. It is at this stage, based on the manner of communication and behavior of the child, the child specialist determines which approach should be chosen for the baby for further interaction with him.
2. "My new friend." At this stage, the doctor can use options for a variety of games with the child, tactile contact is possible, the emergence of common jokes, preferences, something that can already connect an adult and a small interlocutor with each other.
3. "Interesting associations." For example, a dental chair is a spaceship, an empty bottle with water and air pressure are special toys for a doctor, a saliva ejector is an elephant that loves water. Also, during our “flight into space”, a magical tooth fairy watches the process so that at the end of the reception, be sure to give the baby a gift! The child really likes such a fictional atmosphere, it has and the baby has an interest in everything that happens.
4. "Everything is familiar to me." One of the main and decisive stages in psychological adaptation. Acquaintance of the child with all possible sounds, devices, actions that he may encounter in the process of further manipulation. The kid even himself can try to do this or that action, for example, the movement with a mechanical brush, which he will feel during professional hygiene in the oral cavity.
5. Trust. When the kid has already got acquainted with everything and there can be no “surprises” from the doctor for him, the child develops some kind of trust in the specialist. He has nothing to be afraid of, since he has already met everything. He is relaxed and fully disposed to this environment.
