Sugar Bugz Be Gone! Fun, innovative children’s dentistry programs

A children’s experience at the dentist is essential, and first impressions matter. That’s why our team designed a program for children as young as three. So enjoy coming to the dentist knowing that your child is learning how to have a healthy smile for life. Parents understand the significance of good dental health and starting healthy habits at a young age. Many people may have had unpleasant experiences in dental offices. These traumatic experiences could still have effects today. Your child’s first visit to the dentist is important. At Smiles on Essa Dental, we want to make it a fun, friendly, and gentle experience that sets the standard for a lifetime of good oral health!

Join us for a fun introduction to dental care

We strive to make your child’s experience fun and exciting!

The Sugar Bugz Be Gone Program focuses on the Tooth Hero (your child) and freeing the Sugar Bugz (plaque, food bits, etc.) to the Under-Sink-World. Children develop an understanding of their own oral health. They get the motivation to become active participants in maintaining a healthy mouth. When children have a healthy mouth, emergencies & phobias are non-existent.

Introduction to the Dental Office

Our Dental Office’s Introduction for Preschoolers program is designed for children aged 2 to 4 who have never been to a dental office before. During the session, your child will be introduced to dental tools in a friendly and non-threatening manner. They will have the opportunity to sit in a chair, wear a bib and try on protective glasses. The session is free and ends with a toy, sticker, loot bag, and balloon for every child.

Tooth Hero Graduation Ceremony

We want to make dental care fun and something that kids look forward to. By becoming a Tooth Hero, children learn the techniques to have a healthy smile for life. We supply the little ones with a SBBG Smile Keeper Chart to help them track their brushing habits at home. Once the chart is complete, we celebrate with a graduation ceremony where they are given the title of Tooth Hero for Life.
