WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE DENTIST

Our Goals

 

To make a trip to the dentist a comfortable experience. 

The dentist shouldn't be a scary place. We dental workers are friendly people who only want to keep our patients healthy. The office can be scary because there is a lot of new tools that you haven't seen and you may not know what they are going to be used for or what is going to happen. We want to show you what a trip to the dentist is like so when you get there it's not so scary. 

To help you understand why it is important to take care of your teeth.

We use our teeth EVERY SINGLE DAY to eat the foods that are good for us and taste good to us so we have enough energy to play, laugh, work, etc. Our teeth help us live happy and healthy lives and although they are the strongest thing in our bodies, they still need loving care just like the rest of our body does. We want to teach you more about how awesome and helpful your teeth are to you and the rest of your body!

To demonstrate how to take care of your teeth at home.

We all have different and unique teeth in our mouths. Sometimes it can be tricky to know what our teeth need from us at home. We want to give you the information you need  take care of them in the best way possible to achieve a healthy and happy smile.
