- The office staff should be responsive enough to you.
- Either there should not be too much rush, as this makes it difficult to get the appointments and also is not comfortable for the children to wait for such a long time or should have proper space for children and parents so that the long wait should feel like it.
- The Childrens dentist of Dandenong has to be really kind and gentle with your baby.

This is not a very uncommon situation for the dentists but the new parents can get worried about it easily. It’s always better to take someone with you who either has knowledge about all this or has gone through this situation earlier.
Also, don’t forget to take some stuff of your baby with you, some items like – their blanket, their toy, some extra diapers, etc. This will make them feel more comfortable and homely.
