Big Smiles for MOMS:)

Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, wishing ALL MOMS a very Happy Mother’s Day this weekend!

As moms we are always trying to make the best decisions for our children. In light of that, I’m here (as a MOM), to re-assure you that having chosen a Pediatric Dentist for your child is the right decision. Sure, a general dentist can probably “get it done”, but our children are way more special than that. There is a reason why dentists choose to “specialize” in different areas. The reason the specialty for “Pediatric Dentistry” exists is because children have specific needs for their oral care. I’d like to go over just a few reasons why choosing a “Pediatric Dentist” is the best choice & in turn, makes you a Great MOM:

Specializing in Children’s Teeth—Pediatric dentists have been specifically trained to treat children’s developing teeth. They are also knowledgeable enough to guide parents & caregivers during the stages of development. They know the unique problems children may face, such as cavities and gum problems. In addition, most Pediatric Dentists are qualified to handle special cases that may need to be addressed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. Lastly, pediatric specialists have experience dealing with frightened children & can help your child feel at ease & comfortable.
Smaller Child-Friendly Equiptment–While there’s nothing wrong with using standard-sized dental equipment on children, it’s nice that pediatric dental offices use samller equipment designed for a child’s mouth. Additionally, many pediatric dentists help ease your child into dental exams by introducing one piece of equipment at a time. This can help children get used to complex & often “scary-looking” tools without overwhelming them.
Inviting & Child-Friendly Environment–For those that have actually visited Casa Smiles, you know that we go above & beyond in this department. Not only is our office clean, pretty, & fun, but our team is also ready to greet you & your kiddos with a smile. We have iPads for children to play with in our welcoming area along with a TV playing Disney favorites. Then as you move on to our comfy exam chairs, you can put on your own headphones & choose a movie to watch during your visit. Moms & dads get to listen to music playing in the office & get to enjoy coffee, tea, water, or even hot chocolate in our refreshment area. As if that was not enough, when your child is all done our hygienists gift your kiddos stickers. Finally. on your way out, our Casa Smiles guests get to pick a prize from the Treasure Box. We also make sure moms & dads leave with a token of our appreciation, such as chap stick, hand sanitizer, or another seasonal gift.
Focus on Preventative Care–Pediatric dentists also focus on prevention of dental problems to ensure a lifetime of good dental health. Pediatric specialists can give you advice & teach you about developing healthy habits, like 2x a day brushing & flossing. A pediatric dentist will also have the latest information on preventative treatments as they pertain specifically to children.

We feel blessed that you have chosen Casa Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics as your dental home for your children. If you ever have any questions or concerns about your child’s oral health, don’t hesitate to ask. Way to go MOMS, you made the right choice & have gifted your children a healthy smile:)
