Implementing The David Kravitz Snapchat Tactic For Children

I love my patients, especially the children. The children always bring a smile to my face, but sometimes it can be a struggle to bring a smile to theirs. Children have this fear of dentists, so it is imperative that we do everything we can here at Karl Jobst DDS to ensure the children are leaving happier with conquered fears and healthier smiles.

What tactics do you fellow dentists use to get your young patients to smile or much less, relax? For me, I found that showing them David Kravitz Snapchat typically helps. I let them use my phone while I do my work. I know, that sounds crazy to most people, so you’re not alone in that thought. The last thing most people will do is let a child handle their phone, but understand this psychology, if you’re a “scary dentist” the last thing a child wants to do is upset you.

I’m not going to lie, the Snapchat thing wasn’t my idea. It was more of my assistant’s idea. She says her children watch David Kravitz Snapchat all the time and it’s hilarious enough to make them laugh. I thought, “Hey, what have I got to lose?” You know what? It worked for me. This is a new tactic I have just started using on my scared kids and I’ll admit, his Snapchat is pretty funny. It’s tools like this that make jobs like mine so much easier and more fun to do.
