Make Teeth Cleaning a Breeze with the Right Pediatric Dentist
I vividly remember my dentist’s office as a child: big, uncomfortable couches in the waiting room, stacks of magazines that I didn’t find very interesting, and cold, dark exam rooms illuminated only by a single, glaring light overhead.
My dentist was nice enough, but it clearly wasn’t a space designed for kids.
Once I became a parent, I was determined to create a better dental experience for my children. While getting your teeth cleaned may not be a favorite activity, finding a kid-friendly provider can make a big difference.
