Why Visit a Pediatric Dentist?
According to the International Journal of Pediatric Dentistry, almost one-quarter of all children and adolescents worldwide experience some level of dental anxiety (DA).1 This condition translates to more reluctance to visit the dentist, thereby diminishing dental and overall health outcomes for children.
At iGrin, we love kids and strive to make dentistry fun (and not scary)! We are confident that, once your child sets foot inside our new office, they will never want to leave.
We have cultivated a cool, modern environment, complete with televisions for watching movies and playing video games during visits, as well as coloring sheets and other non-screen activities. More importantly, each of our staff is trained to provide dental care specifically to children, in addition to their other qualifications.
Speaking of: having a relaxed, inviting atmosphere does not mean you have to sacrifice on care—quite the opposite. Our team of dentists, hygienists, and assistants brings decades of cumulative experience working with pediatric patients. You will find a caring environment that focuses on ensuring each young patient has a positive experience while receiving the highest caliber of dental care.
Our staff are equipped to treat children with specific orofacial disorders or conditions. In addition, we welcome those with any type of special need, including physical, cognitive, emotional, developmental, or sensory. For instance, we have special integrated noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, and private treatment areas available for patients who have sensory processing disorders and find the standard dental environment overwhelming.
Comprehensive Care and Advanced Technology
At iGrin, we offer a complete range of dental services, including:
- Preventive care (cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants)
- Restorative procedures adapted for younger patients
- Early orthodontic assessments
- Emergency dental care
- Care for children with special needs
- Infant oral health exams
- Nutritional counseling
While the office aesthetics might be playful, the dental technology is cutting-edge. For instance, we have invested in the latest digital imaging equipment that minimizes radiation exposure, especially compared to traditional X-rays, while still providing high-quality images that can help our dentists diagnose and treat conditions.2 Our practice also features intraoral cameras that allow patients and parents to see exactly what the dentist sees.
Technology does not only improve the quality of care, it can also make the experience better for children. Seeing colorful images of their own teeth on the screen can contribute to a richer understanding of dental health. It can transform appointments from something mysterious, unknown, and potentially frightening, into a fun learning adventure.
We also utilize Soan technology for pain-free dentistry. This advanced system allows us to deliver anesthetics with precision, ensuring a gentle, virtually painless treatment for our young patients. This capability also eliminates the need for hospital visits for minor, outpatient dental procedures.
A Focus on Prevention and Education
Perhaps most importantly, our office’s main focus extends far beyond treating specific dental problems—we are committed to preventing them in the first place. This happens largely through parental and child education.
In person and on our website, you will find a wealth of information about dental care for children and adolescents of all ages. This includes everything from advice on basic dental hygiene habits and techniques to information about specific procedures.
Our practice also offers free community workshops on topics ranging from proper brushing techniques to healthy eating habits that promote strong teeth. In short, our philosophy is to empower our young patients to establish a dental care routine that will serve them well for their entire lives.
Community Continuity and Accessibility
For years, iGrin has been establishing roots in the Upstate community. We proudly support local youth athletic programs and participate in many different community events to provide dental health education to children and families. We also have a strong relationship with the Boiling Springs Business Association.
At iGrin, we accept most major dental health insurance plans. If you lack dental benefits, we still have you covered with InstaGrin, our in-house dental savings plan. It is a simple, straightforward alternative insurance, where families pay a small monthly installment that covers basic treatment throughout the year.
We Have Offices for Adults Too!
One of the things that makes us unique is that we see adults at our many family dental offices, one of which is located next door to iGrin. We understand that the lives of parents are busy and often hectic. We offer this service to give you the convenience of being able to schedule an office visit on the same day as your child. Having the entire family visit the dentist together has the added benefit of helping alleviate any anxiety your child may have.
