Wild for a smile is top-notch

Going to the dentist isn’t fun. For someone who’s had extensive dental work done, I’m terrified of going to the dentist. It’s been nothing but a painful and uncomfortable experience. This is why I haven’t been back to the dentist since having my kiddos. I’m well past time for doing so. My kids, thankfully, are starting out their dentist memories differently than mine. I found a company in town called Wild for a Smile a few years back and they are top-notch.

They are patient, they are personable and they make the whole dentist experience fun. Tristyn so far has escaped getting any major dental work done and he just goes in for cleanings. Zahkya on the other hand has had two cavities they have had to fill. The first one from start to finish took about 10 seconds. The second one, which was today, took a little longer because it was one of her back teeth. They have a TV above the kids where they can watch whatever they want on Disney + and they use different words for their instruments. Instead of a drill, they call it tickling the tooth. They call filling a cavity, getting out the sugar bugs. It’s so aged appropriate and it’s not intimating at all. Today they had to give Zahkya some laughing gas and a shot to numb her tooth but they told her it was putting her tooth to sleep. She felt no pain at all which was shocking since she has some sensory issues with her mouth. We were in and out of there in 30 minutes and at the end, they give a token to her so she could pick a prize while I paid and checked out. Easy as can be. I’m so thankful for little things like this.
