Our practices terminology

Dear Parents:

In order to improve the chances of your child having a positive experience in our office, we are selective in our use of words. We try to avoid words that scare the child due to previous experiences. Please support us by NOT USING negative words that are often used for dental care.

Dont use	Replacement phrase
Needle or shot	Shaking tooth to sleep
Decay, Cavity	Sugar bug
Drill	Mr. Whistle
Drill on tooth	Clean a tooth
Examination	Count teeth
Explorer	Tooth counter
Pull or yank tooth	Wiggle a tooth out
Rubber Dam	Tooth pillow
Tooth cleaning	Tickle teeth
Nitrous gas	Happy gas

This will also help you understand your child’s description of the filling experience. Our intention is not to “fool” the child- it is to create an experience that is positive. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us build a good attitude for your child!

      The staff is all tailored to every child’s needs. I have watched them provide excellent service to not only my 4 children for the last 13 years but any child that is in there. I bring 4 wild children in at the same time everytime and although they are grown to not being running wild anymore, when they were they understood and were respectful. They are a well oiled machine and dr. NGO is amazing. They are gentle and allow the children a safe place to take it all in. This place will not traumatize your children. As we know the dentist isn’t fun. This place is fun. Thank you kids focus. One happy mom
