I am going to visit Good Life Smiles Pediatric Dentistry.This is a place where dentists and helpers take care of my teeth. They help keep my teeth healthy and strong.
arriving at the office
When I get to Good Life Smiles, I will walk inside with my grown-up. The waiting area smells like marshmallows. There is a TV playing a movie, and soft music will be playing quietly. There are wooden toys to play with and an area with iPads.
at the front desk
I will be greeted by two women who will ask for my name. My grown-up might need to fill out some paperwork while we wait, and I will pick out a toothbrush.
going to the dental room
When it is my turn, a helper will call my name. I will walk to a special room with four chairs. The helper will show me which chair I will sit in. My grown-up and siblings can come with me.
I will sit in the chair, and it will lean back so the dentist can see my teeth. There will be a bright light above me. I can wear sunglasses if the light is too bright. The dentist will say hello and look inside my mouth. I will open my mouth so they can see my teeth. If I need a break, I can raise my hand.
cleaning my teeth
A helper will clean my teeth with a special toothbrush. The toothbrush makes a buzzing sound and might tickle my teeth. The helper will use a small straw to suck up water in my mouth. It makes a vacuum sound. This helps keep my mouth dry. If I need a break, I can tell them.
all done!
When my teeth are clean, the dentist will tell me I did a good job. I will get to pick out a sticker and a book to take home. Then, I will walk back to the waiting area. My grown-up will schedule my next appointment before we leave.
When I leave, my teeth will feel clean. I will come back again another day to keep my teeth healthy and strong.
thank you!
