Have you ever been in a dingy dental office? One with sterile walls, a few dog-eared books, some old chairs, and dark lighting?
Sound familiar?
Have you ever tried to find a place that didn’t make oral hygiene feel like a horror movie?
If you haven’t heard about Orem Pediatric Dentistry. Please allow me to introduce you to our practice.
Stepping Into a Kid’s Dream Office
From the moment you enter Orem Pediatric Dentistry, it’s clear this isn’t your standard white-coat affair. The waiting area? It’s designed for little ones. Think cozy seating nooks with soft lighting, walls adorned with colorful murals of smiling animals flashing pearly whites, and—get this—a dedicated play corner stocked with building blocks, puzzles, and those squishy sensory toys that keep fidgety fingers busy.
The goal of our waiting room is to make you and your loved ones feel comfortable. We focus on helping kids having fun and making each and every experience stress-free. With iPads, arcade games, and complimentary snacks.
This design is purpose driven. You could call it a “family-friendly flow”. Unlike places that make you wait forever, this office can handle multiple kids at once— a game-changer for us. For families juggling school runs and soccer practices, we also have extended hours.
Then there are the rooms where the fun ramps up. Each chair is like a mini command center for tiny patients, with overhead screens streaming kid-friendly shows or nature docs to keep eyes (and minds) occupied.
But the real stars? Well, that could be our cutting-edge tools that nix the needles. With dedicated focus on “pain-free solutions”, we offer WaterLase® laser technology which allows us to treat cavities without radiation or pain. It’s revolutionary. And I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention that our primary focus at OPD is PREVENTION.
So, let me just cover that for a moment
Why We Focus on Prevention at Orem Pediatric Dentistry
We sort of view prevention the way we view kids. We think of kids as our future. Our future leaders, our neighbors, and future friends. They are our future.
Prevention works the same way. The better we do now, the better results we will have later. Developing good habits as a kid and lead to a healthier smile and healthier disposition later on in life.
So, to do our part, we educate our young patients and parents every chance we get. Proper brushing technique, the importance of flossing, how often to brush and floss, etc. It’s simple. It’s practical. But, it works. It’s not forced. It’s just showing them what to do, how often, and making it all fun.
I think the key here is to lead by example. If we can show our young friends something that can help them in their life, we should. And proper oral care is essential to living a happy, healthy lifestyle.
Let me cover a few ways we make that happen.
Rewards, Smiles, and a Lifetime of Healthy Teeth
The goal for every one of our patients is to treat whatever issues they have in a way that keeps them comfortable the entire time they are at our clinic.
Our secondary purpose is to educate parents and kids as to the proper preventive procedures.
So how do we get there? How can we ensure that all patients and parents know how to care for their teeth, and do what it takes to make it all stick? Well, we continue to work on it every single day with every single person that walks through our doors. It’s our mission.
Also, we continue to make videos and write articles that can help people learn more about new procedures, how to find the right practice for you and your family, and live a healthier, happier life.
