193: Advice and Best Practices from Pediatric Dentist Dr Shonna Masse (especially for those anxious kiddos)

Dr. Shonna Masse has been practicing dentistry for 27 years. She is a board-certified paediatric dentist and is the founder of The Children’s Dental Centre and The Orthodontic Dental Centre, in Toronto, Ontario. In this episode I learned the difference between pediatric and family dentistry.  The distinction is important, and her additional qualifications means she is armed with the best approaches for working with children. We talked about preparing for a child’s first appointment, how to handle resistance, weaning off pacifiers, the surprising worst foods for cavities, parent guilt and much more! Dr Shonna Masse’s practices are:   The Children’s Dental Centre The Orthodontic Dental Centre Follow The Children’s Dental Centre on IG @TheChildrensDentalCentre**********Thank you to FeedSpot for selecting “Parenting the Adlerian Way” as the #1 parenting podcast in Canada!Do you have a parenting question for me?
