The No Cavity Club at Children’s Dental World is an innovative approach to involving children in their own oral hygiene. Children who are cavity-free at a regular checkup get to spin a special prize wheel. The prizes awarded are more than just trinkets. Among the 14 prizes won by cavity-free children in February were Lego Transformers, Ipod Shuffles, Android tablets, Kobo e-Readers, and may more. In addition, all children earn Super Patient tokens during their visits, and they can use those tokens to select toys from the Children’s Dental World Treasure Tower.
The seven dentists at Children’s Dental World are board certified in pediatric dentistry, a challenging and rewarding specialty that requires a one-year residency in addition to four years of dental school. All are dedicated to their profession, and many have earned other advanced degrees; in addition, many of them teach their specialty at regional dental schools. The practice also features an orthodontist, which facilitates the coordination of dental and orthodontic work. The office also maintains a dental laboratory in-house, and fabricates all orthodontic appliances on-site. This enhances the office’s ability to make perfectly-fitting appliances.
