18. Can my child bring a comfort toy?

Absolutely! We encourage children to bring a favorite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal to their appointment. Comfort items can help your child feel safe and more relaxed in the dental chair, especially during their first visits.
Having a familiar object provides reassurance, reduces anxiety, and makes the visit more positive. Just be sure the item isn’t too large, so it doesn’t get in the way during the procedure.
