Kid's days at office have become famous.  Seven years ago, we developed the concept to have an afternoon especially devoted to our children.  Our entire focus was to make coming to the dental office a comfortable, fun, and yes - exciting place to be.  To that end, we shut the office down, get dressed in costumes, set up games, prizes, and awards.  It's all about the kids.  No adult treatment.   We have a big party, and by the way we do cleanings, exams, sealants, and fillings as well as whatever treament the kids may need. 

Because we create an atmosphere of fun and light heartedness, kids look forward to coming.  They aren't afraid.  We've done a total twist and made coming to the dental office a fun, memorable experience.

 

 Camping kids Day - we set up a big tent outside the office and have games to play in the tent.  The kids go nuts!

Pirate Kids Day - a real big hit!!This was a very special day in that we treated underprivileged children with huge dental problems.  We had 2 volunteer anesthesiologists to come and assist us.

A wonderful assistant!  One of the cool things about working with kids is the more they know, the better they behave at the dental office.  With this in mind, we always tell the kids everything we are going to do, show them, and then do it.  In fact, many times we will have other children in the room helping out with procedures on other children.  I remember on several occasions, after having a child assist me on a filling, that they said " It's my turn - I want one".  Can you imagine a child asking to have a tooth filled.  Kids days teach kids to feel comfortable and in control.
