Our dental office is fun and kid-friendly
At Smiles in Motion, we do things a bit differently. Every part of our Hudson office was designed with kids in mind, from the playplace in our waiting area to our brightly colored exam rooms. We also have interactive games and screens above every exam area, so your child can watch their favorite show or movie during treatment. Creating a fun, comfortable environment is yet another part of our patient-centered approach—we believe strongly in putting children first.
We can’t wait to meet you! Here’s what you can expect
Infant visit (age one)
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends seeing a dentist for the first time by age one–even the tiniest of teeth need professional care. Your pediatric specialist will assess the growth and development of your child’s mouth (including any thumb-sucking or pacifier habits) and provide tips to help you keep their smile clean and healthy.
Toddlers and preschoolers
We do not expect your child to sit in a dental chair on their own or fully cooperate until at least preschool age, and it’s perfectly normal for young children to cry. Don’t worry, we’ve got this! Your care provider will likely perform a lap-to-lap or knee-to-knee examination with a parent or caregiver’s help, providing reassurance along the way.
Elementary to young adult
These are critical years for building a positive attitude about dental care, so we do everything we can to make your child feel welcome and comfortable during their visit. Your pediatric dentist will explain things in age-appropriate terms and show the instruments they’ll be using. And of course, parents are always welcome in the room.
