How do I make kids feel more comfortable when coming into the dental office?

Make them feel comfortable and assure them that by the end of session, they will look nice with healthy teeth. Educate them about the importance of a dental visit and use analogies like how a dentist is a hero who fights off "bad things" that lurks in his/her mouth.





During the procedure, keep asking the kid how he/she feels and when it looks like it's starting to hurt, ask if he/she wants you to stop.





I guess communication is an important aspect and just remembering to smile and be relaxed about it. Give out something like a magnet, sticker or a kid's toothbrush at the end of the session.
