Hi! This page is for YOU

The dentist isn't scary.

It's just some chairs, a sticker wall, and some folks who want to look at your teeth for a few minutes. We'll show you exactly what we have in here.

Meet the tools.

These are the things we use. They have weird names. We made up nicer ones.

Mr. Thirsty

Real name: suction

The little straw that drinks the water out of your mouth. He makes a slurpy noise. He's a fan of yours.

The Spinny Brush

Real name: prophy cup

A tiny rubber brush that spins like a tiny Roomba. Tickles. Tastes like bubble gum (or whatever flavor you picked).

The Tickle Stick

Real name: explorer

A skinny silver stick we use to count teeth. It taps. It does NOT poke. We promise.

Sparkle Hat

Real name: x-ray sensor

Goes on your tooth like a tiny crown. Takes a picture. Beep! Done in five seconds.

What happens, step by step.

Here is the ENTIRE visit. There are no surprises. We promise on the sticker wall.

01

Hi! You're here!

Walk in. We say hi. You pick a sticker before anything else happens. That's a rule.

02

Tour the room.

The chair goes up, the chair goes down. The light is bright but not in your eyes. Press buttons. Touch tools.

03

"Open big like a hippo!"

You lie back. We count your teeth out loud. Did you know some kids have 20 baby teeth?

04

The Spinny Brush.

Pick a flavor: bubble gum, watermelon, mint, blue raspberry, or grape. The brush tickles a little.

05

Bubble-gum paint.

Then we paint your teeth with bubble-gum stuff that protects them. No eating for 30 minutes after.

06

The sticker wall!

The most important part. You pick stickers. You pick a prize. You walk out a hero.

Words you might hear.

Sometimes grown-ups say weird words. Here are the kid versions.

Cavity tooth boo-boo

A little hole in a tooth. We can fix it. It doesn't hurt to fix.

Floss tooth string

The string that gets between teeth. Squeezes out the snack pieces.

Plaque tooth fuzz

The fuzzy stuff that builds up on teeth. Brushing makes it go away.

Sealant tooth raincoat

A clear coat we put on big back teeth so cavities can't get in.

X-ray tooth photo

A picture of the inside of your tooth. Beep! Done in five seconds.

Fluoride tooth vitamin

Stuff that makes your teeth stronger. Like Popeye spinach but for teeth.
