Our Children's Care Program

Saturdays Are Reserved For Children

We think children’s dental care is special. That’s why we reserve Saturdays just for children. Kids are with other kids and the setting is comfortable. There are no drills and no “scary” treatment going on. Laughing, crying, singing, story telling, wiggling, figeting – it’s all OK, and you don’t need to feel anxious as a parent. Our doctors and team members know how to work with children and enjoy it!

Best of all, our scheduling is highly efficient, allowing families to have all of their children seen at about the same time and on their way in about 30 minutes.

While we see a majority of our Park Dental children on Saturdays for preventative and diagnostic procedures, we also provide before and after school appointments for those families who prefer Monday through Friday appointments.

Restorative Dentistry For Children: Tell–Show–Do

Restorative dentistry (i.e. fillings) and other care that cannot be done on Saturdays is scheduled during the week at convenient times for parent and child (we have before and after school hours).

When we have to perform treatments on children, we have a Tell–Show–Do philosophy. We tell them what the procedure will be, show them on their finger or let them touch things so they know it’s not going to hurt, and lastly do the procedure. As we’re doing the procedure, we praise them for doing such a great job and then reward them in some way when we’re done.

Our goal is to win over each child and make going to the dentist the best experience it can be.
