At Harvest Pointe Dental, we know that dental visits can be scary or unpleasant for many young kids. By taking time to adjust language and interactions for kids, we offer child-friendly dental care. We offer space where curiosity is encouraged, questions are answered, and fear is left at the door.
Schedule your child’s next visit with our dental team in Edmonton.
More Than a Checkup: An Interactive Experience
We believe that when a child understands “the how” and “the why” behind their smile, they become active participants in their own care.
The “Tell-Show-Do” Method
We never surprise our young patients. Our team uses the Tell-Show-Do approach to build trust:
- Tell: We explain the “cool tools” using kid-friendly language (like our “tooth-tickler” or “Mr. Thirsty”).
- Show: We demonstrate how the equipment works on a finger or a stuffed animal.
- Do: Only once the child is comfortable do we begin the gentle cleaning.
High-Tech Curiosities
Children are naturally fascinated by technology. We use our Intraoral Cameras to give them a “guided tour” of their own mouth on a big screen. Seeing their teeth magnified 40x makes the visit feel like a science experiment rather than a medical appointment.
Our Child-Friendly Dental Approach
We’ve optimized our Edmonton office to soothe the senses of our youngest visitors:
- The Atmosphere: From the bright, welcoming lobby to our kid-sized comforts, we provide a sensory-friendly environment that reduces the “clinical” feel.
- Distraction Therapy: Our treatment areas are equipped with entertainment options to keep little minds occupied while we work our magic.
- The Reward System: Every successful visit ends with a trip to our treasure chest, which is every child’s favourite part!
