Providing a Positive Dental Experience for Kids at Shova Dental Care
Getting kids to the dentist can be difficult, but Shova Dental Care makes it easier with its specialized Kids Dentistry program. They have designed an environment and approach to ensure your child’s visit is anxiety-free and even fun.
The office itself helps children feel comfortable right away. Vibrant colors, games, books, and movies create a kid-friendly atmosphere. Child-size chairs and pediatric equipment are geared towards safety and comfort. Kids also receive their own goodie bag with toys to take home.
During cleanings and exams, the dentist and hygienist maintain a calm, friendly demeanor and continually engage with your child. They explain each step using tell-show-do, allowing the child to understand procedures through watching, listening, and experiencing first-hand.
Short attention spans are taken into consideration as well. The staff will often complete cleanings and exams in 10-15 minute segments, providing breaks for the child to relax before moving to the next step. Parents can choose to sit in the exam room with their child or observe from TV monitors in the reception area. For kids that need a little extra help staying relaxed, nitrous oxide is available.
The Kids Dentistry program aims to make appointments engaging and educational. By focusing on preventive care starting at a young age, Shova Dental Care establishes long-term oral health habits. Kids will get excited to earn rewards on their Good Deeds calendar for completing important dental milestones. Appointments can include sealants, fluoride treatments, x-rays, and more based on your child’s needs. Kids are also shown how to properly brush and floss through hands-on demonstrations.
Dental care is vital for children, impacting their speech development, nutrition, and more. However, many families struggle to get their kids to the dentist due to fear and anxiety. Shova Dental Care removes those barriers with a thoughtful Kids Dentistry program. Your child is sure to have an enjoyable, confidence-building dental visit that sets them up for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
