This month at Dove Family Dentistry we will be celebrating National Children's Dental Health Month with a series of blogs. We will be discussing oral health care tips for children of all ages. For example, did you know that good oral health in children begins in the prenatal period? It's important for expectant mothers to achieve good oral health first, so that they set their children up for a good start.
At Dove Family Dentistry we welcome patients of all ages. We go the extra mile for all our patients, including kids! When a child comes to our office for the first time we do everything possible to ensure they have a positive experience, leave smiling and looking forward to their next visit with us. We make it fun right when they walk through the door- literally- with our bunny door! Kids love that it's just their size!
After choosing a new Disney characters toothbrush, they pick flavors of toothpaste and fluoride for their appointment. Kids love seeing our "squirt gun" (the water we use for rinsing) and "Mr. Thirsty" (the suction). When they are all finished, they get to pick out stickers to take home. We also send them home with a photo of their first visit at our office, to reinforce the positive experience back at home.
We invite you to check back to our blog section in the coming weeks to learn more about how you can help your child have good oral health during National Children's Dental Health Month!
