When adults walk in to Happy KiDDS, they’ll be transported back to a time when the most important things in life were to eat, sleep, and play. The office is colorful, happy, and warm, and it’s clear the doctors are happy to be there serving the patients. The practice focuses on the importance of dental hygiene and diet as well as dental checkups, and they make the experience fun and educational for both adults and children.  As far as the appointments go, the practice is structured so that there is a dedicated, ample time for each appointment {which means no overbooking + little to no wait time} — mamas + papas with active little ones will appreciate this. Hours are also super convenient as morning, after-school, and Saturday appointments are available.

Child’s First Dentist Visit

According to Dr. Mindy, a child’s first dentist visit should be at 6 months old, but no later than 1 year old. During your child’s first dentist visit, the following will be reviewed:

– Proper use of systemic and topical fluoride

– Proper brushing technique

– Dietary habits

– Growth + development

– Use of thumb sucking + pacifier habits

– Bottle + nursing habits

If your child has bad thumb sucking, pacifier, and bottle habits — not to worry. The doctor will discuss a plan on when to discontinue these habits to avoid impact on the teeth. You will also learn how to ensure proper hygiene after feedings to avoid cavities {40% of children have dental cavities by the time they start kindergarten — so it’s important to take the steps to avoid them at all costs}.

The doctor will also go over how to prevent cavities, with tips such as:

Brush teeth as soon as they come in

Don’t put them to bed with a bottle

Avoid sugary beverages and juice {+ don’t eat gummy vitamins + dried fruits as they get older}

We all know that taking your child to the dentist isn’t always the easiest thing. They might cry, be super active and want to run around, or just make it impossible for the doctors to work with them. Luckily, the trained staff and doctors at Happy KiDDS know just how to handle the little ones, along with equipment in the rooms to help out, like TV screens with cartoons playing {pictured below}:

They also have tons of toys in the {V clean and sanitary, we might add} waiting room. In fact, in speaking with Dr. Mindy, she was very adamant about how the practice goes above and beyond to make sure that all of the toys, environment, and office and dental supplies are 100% sterilized, sanitized, sparkling, and ready for each patient. Of utmost importance when it comes to any office, but especially one working with children.
