Last week we introduced you more in-depth to our office
support staff. This week we are turning
the spotlight onto Alice and Nancy, our Dental Assistants.
Here is a little bit about Alice, our Head Assistant:
I started working for Dr. Clark when I was 19, as a
Dental Assistant right out of College. I
have worked for Dr. Clark for 24 years now and I am now the Head Assistant and
Clinic Coordinator. I grew up in the Lebanon
area went to Lebanon High, before going to LBCC for my Dental Assisting
Certificate. I have been happily
married for 18 years, I have two wonderful children and as many animals as my
husband will allow.
And now a little about Nancy:
I have lived in the Lebanon area for a long time and
graduated from Lebanon High School in 1985.
I have worked for Dr. Clark off and on since 1989 after I graduated from
LBCC with my Dental Assisting Certificate. I am married (19 1/2 yrs.) and have
three children. I enjoy spending time
with my children, reading and sewing.
As we asked Alice about some advice they could share on
the blog they offered some great tips to help prepare your child for their
dental visits. If you saw our Tuesday's
Tip yesterday they shared with us your child's preparation happens even before
they come in for their appointment.
Here are 6 simple tips to make things go smoothly for you
and your child:
1) Please
always say inspiring and comforting things to your child about an up and coming
dental visit. A dental visit should be a good experience.
2) Please
do not tell them we are going to hurt them if they are being difficult at home.
3) Please
say things like when they do the filling there is going to be alot of water in
your mouth but the assistant will suction it out for you.
4) Never
tease them about a shot or even mention it.
5) Please
let the child know they can make a list of questions to ask us about when they
get here if they would like to, we will explain things to them.
6) What
you say to your child can make a good visit or a bad one. Stay positive and things will go well.
We hope that you find these tips helpful in making your
child's visit a positive one. We know
that going to the Dentist can be scary but with the proper help, attitude and
reinforcement for you they will do just fine.
And don't forget to remind them of the treasure chest at the end of
their visit! That's the BEST part of all!
