Catering to Kids at Elevate Dental

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. At Elevate Dental, the littlest patients get special TLC every month all year long.

We’re all about keeping those little smiles shining bright,” said Doctor Krystal Hakkaart.

“At Elevate Dental, we believe that proactive care fosters a lifetime of healthy smiles and smile out loud moments,” adding that the recommendation is to book the first visit within the six months of that new pearly white poking through.

Along with the importance of early detection, CDA Valerie pointed out some of the other benefits.

“Starting children off early in the dental office builds trust, familiarity, and routine. Getting to know Mr. Slurpee makes visits a breeze as they continue to grow.”

Some babies see Doctor Krystal even earlier. She offers specialized services for infants who are having difficulties with latching or nursing due to lip and tongue tie. “We really want to provide a local option in the Okanagan for all the new mamas out there,” she said.

Choosing the Solea^® dental laser is another way Elevate Dental is committed to making the dental office a welcoming place for children.

“So imagine a dental experience that’s drill free and needle free, that is perfect for all ages, but specifically the little ones,” said Val. “Our Solea^® dental laser ensures a comfortable visit, creating a different experience for the younger generations.”

The special care goes beyond modern technology and dental expertise, with thoughtful touches meant to help kids feel at home. “Our office has comfort items like blankets and pillows to cuddle up with and stream your favorite show, not only keeping the littles entertained but also feeling safe and comfortable,” said Doctor Krystal. “And afterwards you can play some Pacman in the kids’ room!”
