Kids tend to feel queasy or slightly uncomfortable sitting in an adult dental chair. Can you blame them? Even if they do not have a dental phobia (yet!) it can still feel pretty intimidating lying back in an oversized chair, surrounded by strange looking gadgets, looking up at overhanging tubes and a huge bulb of light…
To help overcome your child’s dental anxiety in a fun and interactive way, we are happy to introduce the Dinosaur Chair! Molonglo Dental Surgery is the first dental practice in the whole of Canberra to install the Dinosaur Chair – to the delight of all our young patients!
An absolute hit with small toddlers and pre-schoolers, this brightly coloured Dinosaur-shaped Chair is designed to inject a huge dose of fun into your child’s next dental visit. It is a great impression-builder for kids making their first-ever dental visit. In addition to its many awesome features to help tackle dental phobia in a fun and non-threatening way, the Dino Chair is first and foremost a paediatric-focused innovation that paves the way for better kid-friendly treatments and successful outcomes.
At Molonglo Dental Surgery, it is important that parents feel 100% confident to leave their kids in our expert care. We take a lot of pride in our children’s dental services and it can be seen in the way we actively promote the use of minimally invasive techniques, utilise child-friendly communication tools while fostering a friendly and relaxing environment in which your kids can feel safe and secure.
The Dino Chair is a great example of us actively prioritising the needs of our young patients, especially for those who may be struggling with dental anxiety issues.
