WOW! The Best Kid Friendly Pediatric Kansas City Dentist

WOW! Do You Want to Know the Best Kid Friendly Pediatric Kansas City Dentist?

All I can say about the Best Kid Friendly Pediatric Kansas City Dentist is WOW! What a Great Time for everyone. The dentist’s office is very family oriented and caters to children and adults.

We just took our children to a new dentist in Kansas City where parents can help themselves to a Starbucks coffee or hot cocoa. Parents can check their email or make a phone call while their children play a variety of video games at different play stations, watch a kid friendly movie on a wide screen TV for everyone to enjoy.

Once you enter the actual patient area you will see an aquarium filled with Clown fish like in the movie Finding Nemo. Children are entertained with a movie shown on a flat screen TV attached to the ceiling. This makes teeth cleaning and other dental work easy for the dental assistants as your child is being entertained and comfortable lying on their back.

The dentist assistants use bubble gum flavored tooth paste and the children are rewarded with stickers and a gift for participation. There’s also another video game room in the patient area if your child needs to wait to get x-rays done of their teeth or are waiting to see the dentist.

Once your children have finished they are rewarded with a cup of ice cream and get a balloon on the way out. Talk about family friendly. It’s a child care oriented dentist’s office.

If you want the most kid friendly pediatric Kansas City Dentist you need Dr. Jill Jenkins DDS and Dr. Michael LeBlanc, DDS. You can visit them online at http://www.kidsmilekc.com or schedule an appointment at their high-tech kid friendly Western Shawnee location at 6850 Hilltop Road, Suite 160, Shawnee, KS 66228.
