Behaviour & safety
Prepare in advance with a short visual sequence or calm video. Mute alarming audio and narrate slowly using simple, predictable language: the tooth wiggles, it may fall, there may be a little blood, and the child will be safe. Practise with a doll, offer a preferred comfort item and keep adult reactions calm.
