The kids go to their dentist twice a year, unless they have more teeth coming in, than going out. Then they have to go several times and have teeth “removed”. Once we visited the dentist four times in two weeks. They asked if I was moving in. The way their office looks, I wouldn’t mind moving in.
Here is the front desk. The ladies who work behind here are very nice.
Here is a seat by the front door. It is guarded by a friendly snake and a stuffed-up tiger.
Notice the seat by the snake. All the “adult” seats are like that. Unfortunately, the dentist did not ask my opinion on anything. These seats were not made for humans. They make your backside hurt. Especially when you have four kids in there for two or more hours. I got a little grumpy the last time we were there. They were behind (for a good reason) and we didn’t leave until over three hours later and only my son had an appointment!
You can’t be mad at them for having a good reason and for having a place that actually entertains the rest of your clan. They have a seperate play room! My girls know just where it is and leave me the minute they walk in the door. I don’t see them again until it is time to leave. 
I spend the time reading magazines. That’s the only time I get to read magazines.
They even have computer games in there! Of course the games are all about good dental health. I got to clean teeth and color a page. 
My oldest daughter kept telling me how to clean the teeth. I am so glad she was there to help me.
Below is the sink area. Now who wouldn’t want to brush their teeth here? I am thinking of redoing my bathroom.
After the visit they get to pick a junk toy from a plastic tooth. I don’t get one. 
I even argued with the dentist telling her that I bring her my children, so she can practice pulling teeth. I spend ALL my money at her office. I almost live there! Do I get a toy? NO! I am not even allowed to be a patient there. I am so bummed. At least I get to catch up on my reading while there.

< ![CDATA[That is the COOLEST dentist office I've ever seen. I am so jealous! Ours is a drab waiting room and the rooms are teeny-tiny that they stick you in to wait for the dentist.]]>

< ![CDATA[Do they have good magazines? I'm always so bummed when all they have are back issues of Cosmo (gag... hack... cough... wriggle uncomfortably) and Highlights. I have nothing against Highlights but I don't want to read it without a reason -- a good one being that there is a child in my charge.
Because my husband is military, we must go to the military hospitals for EVERYTHING. I have to tell you that they have the worst magazine selection I have ever seen. It's all recruitment propaganda (like they aren't already clear about joining the military if they are sitting in that waiting room) and retirement stuff. I bring a book but always trot around hoping that someone stashed a super-cool magazine somewhere. You see, I too am trained: waiting room means magazines!
What a totally suh-weet dentist office. I love the reception counter!
Blessings!

Yes, they have cool magazines there. Family Fun, Southern Living, and I forgot the others. They also have the daily newspaper. That’s when I found out that a local rock band wanted to interview women to be their “eye candy”. My husband wouldn’t let me try out. ]]>

< ![CDATA[If the dentist is as good as the waiting room it's worth every penny!!!
I love my dentist, and many of you know about my phobia of dentists, even though he doesn't have such a cool waiting area but the mags aren't more than a month old and range from guy stuff, to home improvement, to women stuff and of course good kid (not youth though) mags & books.
My favorite part though is the blanket they have for patients if they're cold, it is so warm and soothing, just makes you want to take a nap.]]>

< ![CDATA[I have never seen such a cool dentist office. That would of made all the trips easier for us to go to such a fun place when two of my boys were younger and had more cavities filled than the other 6 in the family put together!!!!
Everytime I find a good article to read thats when we don't have to wait long!!!!
I'm learning to write down the magazine and then follow up the next time I am left waiting between activites at the library.]]>
