Do you dread taking the kids to the dentist? Maybe you’re a new mom, and you just haven’t scheduled that first appointment…because you just know it will not go well. Fear no more. Today’s pediatric dental offices have more in common with modern playlands than an old-fashioned doctor’s office!
Local pediatric dentist, Dr. Bianca Sanchez at Little People’s Dentistry says, “From the frozen custard signs to the movie posters, hopscotch, and California theme…I drew on favorite moments from my own childhood to create a welcoming practice, with the very best in services. It’s so much easier to treat happy kids! My patients think of going to the dentist as a treat! It’s a place where they sing songs, play video games and learn to brush along with their favorite cartoon character. We clean those little teeth with tools like Mr. Whistle, Mr. Bumpy, and Mr. Thirsty. For added fun, our patients can enter our coloring contest for a chance to win our monthly prize, a $25 Toys R Us gift card or the big annual prize, a Kindle Fire!”
While fun and ease are obvious reasons for choosing a pediatric dentist, it’s a medically sound choice as well. Pediatric dentists are specially trained for children’s unique oral health needs. Their professional education includes two to three years of specialized study after becoming a dentist, where child psychology, growth and development, and special health care needs for children are emphasized. It’s okay, parents…we can keep all this “good-for-you” stuff just between us. Let them think Dr. Sanchez is all about the fun!
Dr. Sanchez’s own kids, baby Gemma Belle and big brother Diego, keep her on the run at home, and she enjoys every minute that she is at work. Dr. Sanchez says, “I love that I can provide this service without it being scary for kids or parents. And please remember that we love all kids at Little People’s Dentistry––girls and boys, busy kids, shy ones, those with developmental delays, language barriers, or any challenges––all little people are welcome here!”
