Our Kids Program.
At Beachside Dental Studio, we place a BIG emphasis on little people! That's why we offer all preventative dental treatment at no out of pocket expense for those with extras cover. That's right, we will discount the gap on any preventative treatment that is carried out on individuals up to the age of 18. This includes checkups, cleans, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants, x-rays and even mouthguards.
Your kids will feel at ease from the moment they arrive. We have ipads for their use in the waiting room and our team is always happy to give them a coloring page while they wait. We even have a small mini golf area for them to use if they want to practice their putt!
In the treatment rooms, there are flat screen televisions in the ceiling which has proven to be a hit with the younger ones.
Our team is dedicated to making every dental visit as enjoyable as possible and whilst some are nervous to begin with, it never takes long for them to feel at ease in the relaxed environment we have intentionally created. After each checkup, our little patients get a goodie bag packed with a toothbrush, toothpaste, sticker and small toy which the kids are always eager to get their hands on. We love seeing her little people leave with a bright smile from ear to ear.
