 Hello everybody, Andrew Meyske here with dental and mobile hygiene. So lately I have been seeing a lot of Child patients, which is awesome and they just love it and that is what I want is I want them to have a nice Exciting dental experience. So some things that I do that are a little bit different is I will not Show them my sharp instruments. So depending on their age Typically if they're four years or younger, I just don't even pick up my Instruments at all because you know, they look and kind of go. What is that? You know, so I do just try to avoid that for now But what I do have is my nice mirror with a light so this helps so much so that I can look inside the mouth There is a light that helps me see because typically they don't open wide at all So this just helps me, you know, see top bottom everywhere Plus I show them my toy box. This is the most popular thing ever people love it So I tell them that if they let me look inside their mouth and these, you know, stay nice and still and Don't move too much. They can pick one toy from here As they all fall out, but as you guys can see Pretty neat, right? Plus if I see them and they don't have any cavities. They can pick another toy So I'll probably have to get some more toys soon enough. I think this toy box came with like 200 toys I probably made more Because I've been seeing a lot of kids lately and then another thing that I'd like to do is I do have a Polisher that is kind of like their electric toothbrush if they do have one So this is so quiet and so soft that I don't sort of pull out this big thing and go I'm going to polish I say look at this neat thing This is my cool toothbrush. It's nice and soft see that and they go Nice, and then I tell them this is what I do or sorry This is what I use to make the tea smooth and shiny with my cool trusty Mere with the light and that's it and then they go Cool and then I tell them again And Afterwards you can pick a toy from the toy box And then if I do have a look and then I see that they have no cavities Then I will say to them plus since you have no cavities today And you do such a good job With your toothbrush every morning and every single night you could have another toy So that's two toys. So I don't tell them initially If you don't have any cavities then you have two toys because I don't want them to feel bad if they do have a cavity I don't want them to think oh, you know, so I don't want them to feel bad because these things happen, right? They do they happen. I'm not saying it's a good thing But I don't want the child to feel bad that they have a cavity because once they have one I mean you have to get it fixed and I don't want them to have that like negative bad Experience right so these this is all I do and they love it now Typically up to the age Usually up to the age of three now up to the age four or more. I will probably have to have to take up my Instruments and clean their teeth a little bit more because I find age four They have tartar a little bit. Hopefully not a lot, but Plack happens pretty much right away. So after eating drinking everything And then if the plaque has been left there for too long that forms tartar So typically I find for the younger ones they have tartar on the inside of their front teeth on the bottom So I might have to have to take out a little instrument, but I don't actually show them the instrument um, I might show them This again and say and then I'm just gonna take another instrument that looks like this and just kind of Make these teeth here a little bit shinier So that's what I tell them when I'm cleaning away the tartar I tell them that that's my special instrument to make the teeth shinier So they tend to like that and don't mind that another thing that I like to do if I can but some kids I can't because they like to move is I have my cool Intraoral camera so I like to take pictures of their teeth So this is what it looks like. I don't have it plugged in but this is what it looks like and this piece here It just sort of goes inside the mouth and then I take pictures and then I will show them on my laptop So I don't take any X-rays, but I take pictures So that I can say hey see these are your nice teeth Plus if they're missing say their lower teeth here that I will take a picture and then show them You see this yellow stuff here. You see this, you know Purple stuff here that is plaque So make sure to get in there a little bit more to take that plaque off So this is an excellent tool to actually show them Inside their mouth because it's one thing to say you're missing some areas here But to actually be able to show them because even if you try to show them inside the mouth They can't see you know, they can't see but taking up a picture and then showing them They love that and this I use on everybody Kids teenagers adults it doesn't matter people love that because I cannot tell you how many times But I say um, you know, there's a lot of stain on your last tooth wait over here And they go I can't see that, you know, it makes sense. So I just take this I take a picture for like half a second and then I will pop it up on my laptop and say see this tooth here And they go, oh my god, that's my tooth. So it is excellent and they actually Like to be able to see that so this I use on everybody and I love it But anyways you guys so those are just some different tools that I like to use and I do always have them So if you need your teeth cleaned, let me know if if you need your teeth wait and let me know I can help So thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you in the next one
