We recommend seeking out a dentist for kids at the earliest age possible.

There are two things that can contribute to feeling comfortable when visiting a dentist as an adult. The first is having begun as a child so that you learn early on that it doesn’t have to be a scary situation. The second is having a place you can go that is dedicated to your comfort and will go above and beyond to put you at ease. At Dental Oasis of Clayton, we have become known as the premier dentist for kids in the Clayton, North Carolina area because we cover both of those. We are excellent with children so that their dental experience gets off on the right foot and our spa-like dental office puts patients of all ages at ease.

Dentist for Kids in Clayton, North Carolina

We recommend seeking out a dentist for kids at the earliest age possible so that any dental concerns can be resolved early and your child can become comfortable before any major dental work every needs to be done. When their first visits are more to get to meet the dentist and experience a pleasant visit, they are more likely to treat going to a dentist for kids like any other routine event.

4 Tricks for Helping Your Kids Feel Comfortable at the Dentist

Just like us, children can sometimes be wary of the dentist or the doctor. However, with some help, children can learn to overcome their fears of the dentist like we can or, even better, prevent fears of the dentist all together. Here at Dental Oasis of Clayton, we want your children to have a positive experience with the dentist when they come, and we have a few tricks we hope will help your child to be more comfortable.

  1. Start with their oral care at home. Children who practice good oral care with the help of parents at home are less likely to get cavities and are also more familiar with the importance of oral health. This will mean that a dental visit feels more like a natural progression rather than new and scary territory.
  2. Practice a dental visit. If your child is already very anxious about a dental visit, have their first visit be a practice visit. Explain to your child’s dentist that your child is apprehensive and ask that they first focus more on what happens during the appointment and what tools are used and why. You could also have a play visit at home where you pretend to be the dentist and look at your child’s teeth.
  3. Be positive. Be wary about what you say in your child’s presence concerning the dentist. If you are afraid or tell kids how you dread your appointments, your children will be afraid as well.
  4. End the visit with a reward. End the visit with something positive like a trip to the park or the library to pick out some fun books. Tailor it to what your child enjoys, and they will start to have positive associations with the dentist.

    Excellent
    Dr. Chan is excellent. Very good bedside manner and very thorough. I had a great cleaning by the hygienist and a great experience overall. I highly recommended Dental Oasis of Clayton
    Went to Dental Oasis for a cavity filling, Dr. Ferrell told me about another cavity that I wasn't aware of from my last appointment. He got the job done quick and went over my tooth around 3 to 4 times after the filling to make sure my tooth was like before.
    There was a dental assistant (i think that's what they are called" I forgot to get her name (had black hair with blonde highlights) but she was great aswell, she answered any questions I had and was very friendly. Would go again and recommend for others to go here as well.
    First visit back to the dentist in a long time, and it was such a breeze and great visit! My hygienist was super sweet from the beginning and kept me informed of everything.
    The doctor was super helpful as well and explained my treatment that was needed!
    Definitely recommend this office!
    I had the most incredible experience at Dental Oasis of Clayton! As someone who has struggled with dental anxiety for years, I was absolutely dreading my appointment. But from the moment I stepped into the office, I felt completely at ease. The staff was so kind and understanding, and they really took the time to listen to my concerns.

    Dr. William Ferrell and staff are total game-changers. They explained everything to me in detail and made sure I understood every step of the procedure. They also took extra precautions to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I was amazed at how gentle and pain-free the procedure was. It honestly felt like nothing was happening—no discomfort, no sharp sensations, and zero pain!

    They used the latest techniques and numbing methods, and I could tell that they really care about making the experience as smooth as possible. I was even given a warm blanket which made me feel much more relaxed.

    It’s such a relief to finally find a dentist I can trust, especially after years of dental anxiety. I’m no longer afraid to visit the dentist and will definitely be returning for all my future appointments. If you’re someone who feels anxious about dental work, I HIGHLY recommend Dental Oasis of Clayton. They truly made my experience pain-free and stress-free!
    I have been a patient here for 3 years now. I hate the dentist but the doctors here have made everything go smooth when getting treatment done. Highly recommend.
    Let me start off this review that I am absolutely TERRIFIED of going to the dentist. Dental Oasis has completely changed my fear of the dentist. All of the employees are so nice, caring, and supportive of those with dental anxiety. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you so much for making my experience a good one from my very first emergency appointment. I won’t go anywhere else!
    From the moment I entered the building, the staff and the doctor was awesome, they put my mind at ease and I felt comfortable. They were easy to talk to and explained my issues and concerns so I could easily understand. I would highly recommend this clinic. Trust me they are fantastic.
    Fantastic Dentist! Highly recommend!
    Loved my experience at dental oasis especially since i was a first time visitor! Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Dental oasis is my new dental home
    I just changed to Dental Oasis as my husband is a customer and loves them. I am so glad I changed and had a wonderful experience. The staff is very professional and helpful. The hygenist did a fantastic job cleaning and caring for my teeth. I appreciate the use of New technology and was impressed on how they take camera images of your teeth to track progress of your gums and physical changes to your teeth ( Just extra from the XRays). The dentist was great and very friendly. I highly recommend them.
    Staff did excellent job explaining eval
    Best dentist office I've ever been to. Staff is always professional and courteous.
    I loved this place, they didn’t judge me and explain everything very nice to me. Will definitely be coming back.
    They do a good job keeping up with me and reminding me of appointments etc. They are very helpful to get me in the very next day for a cleaning.
