One of the most difficult things about moving is finding health providers that you can trust. I found Doctor Kott's pediatric dental office courtesy of Google.
I was impressed by the website and the rave reviews of this dental clinic. I also appreciate that for families who don't have dental insurance, Dr. Kott's office offers a few specials so that your family can still find a way to afford a dental visit.
My sons had side-by-side appointments today for their 6-month checkup and cleaning. We checked in on a computer, which was nice. No more paper forms for this office. Everything is digital. The kids played in the vibrant play area while I filled out the forms. There is a play area that's gated off so even younger kids can play without running off. Both of my boys loved the train tracks.
One of my sons also really, really loved this giraffe.
Once it was time for their exams, each child got to pick their own seats. I loved this! For my kids, it meant that they had a little more control during an experience that might otherwise be a little nerve-wrecking. Both of the hygienists who worked with my kids were friendly, patient, and very gentle.
After their cleanings, Dr. Kott came out to examine the boys. He was very patient and explained everything he was doing as he did it. One of my sons has some anxiety about going to the dentist, but he felt very comfortable throughout the entire visit. I also loved that Dr. Kott was willing to answer any and all of my questions about my sons' teeth, as well as offer me advice and tips for keeping their teeth even cleaner.
Finally, the visit ended with each child getting a new toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and a special toy.
