Dental Health is a Family Value



Jose

Nine year old Jose sat comfortably in the dental chair. He'd had his check-up and cleaning and he was all smiles. He liked the feeling of just-cleaned teeth. He also looked forward to taking home a toy and a free book after his visit. His sister Aszaria, who's seven, was waiting her turn with Sellena, their mom. Their brother Kortez, the youngest at five years old, was due on the next day. Jose, Kortez and Aszaria have been coming to Community Dental every six months since 2011.


Keri and Aszaria













Sellena has become a big Community Dental fan.
“I love Jaclyn and Keri’s energy with the kids,” she told us.  “They get them interested in learning about their teeth.  The staff is so warm and they talk to the kids so they’re very relaxed about coming to the dentist.  And you’re right here in my community.  We walk by all the time and we can see in the big windows.  It makes the dentist's office less strange and scary.”

We’re excited to see more families like this one making Community Dental their dental home.  Not so long ago, most of our patients came in with emergencies.  Too often, by that time we had no choice but to extract teeth too damaged to save.  This family, and others like them, reflect our vision for Chester County’s future.  Their children are learning to feel good about coming to the dentists office. They’re not likely to suffer the pain of serious dental disease or the loss of education it can cause.  Most importantly, they’re getting a  head start on a life of good dental health.
