Well Baby Class

This past Tuesday we had a wonderful new class for parents and kids under three years of age.  We are so excited about launching this program because it gives us an opportunity to share our knowledge of oral health with so many parents! This class is completely free of charge or obligations to the families.  We provide snacks for both parents and kids and the only requirement we have is that the kiddos are under three years of age.  We are planning on having this event few times a year.

We first took this lively group of kids and parents on a tour of our beautiful office.  We showed moms and dads our state of the art digital xray room and explained our beliefs on when and how to take xrays.  We took them through the New Patient Room and talked about how we convince little ones to show us their pearly whites :).  We showed parents our hygiene area where Michele does the cleanings and our exam room.  We also showed them our "jungle and space travel" themed treatment rooms with TVs over the chairs that can entertain little ones while we fix any possible cavities.

After the tour we chatted with parents about all things that are important to little ones' oral health.  We had a slideshow about proper brushing and flossing techniques, about foods that are healthy for the teeth, about habits such as thumb sucking or pacifier use and other pertinent topics.  Finally we took each family to a separate room where our staff showed moms and dads how to properly brush little teeth and Dr. Lindhorst examined individual smiles for cavities as well as proper dental development.  As the parents were walking out, our front desk staff gave them prizes and answered any insurance questions they might have had.

It was such a fun morning and we all had a good time.  We are looking forward to the next session in 6 weeks on May 24th!
