Why Parents and Kids Love Summer Camps at the Dentist
We know that a trip to the dentist can sometimes be intimidating, but with our fun-filled events, kids can experience dental care in a whole new way! Our Summer Camps at the Dentist feature exciting activities that make learning about oral health fun and easy. Kids can’t wait to get involved, and parents love how relaxed and educational the experience is.
Sugar Bugz Be Gone!
At Smiles on Essa Dental, we’re passionate about educating children on the importance of oral health in a fun, welcoming environment. Sugar Bugz Be Gone (SBBG) is our signature initiative, which was developed by dental professionals who happen to be parents with a passion for teeth. A program created to excite kids and teach them all about dental care in a fun and interactive way. For our Tooth Heroes, it’s more than just a program; it’s an initiative that fosters lifelong healthy habits.
