Beautiful Smiles!
Little Star learners visited Carmel Pediatric Dentistry, owned by Dr. Kevin Beadle and Dr. Carol McKown, to become familiar with a dental office environment and the tools that dentist use during an appointment. Dr. Beadle, in particular, has worked with one of Little Star’s learners on several occasions to increase the learner’s comfort level with the experience and procedures. Lisa Adams who manages the front office and handles marketing and public relations efforts conducted the tour and provided the learners with a goodie bag and silly bands at the end. As well as working to minimize anxiety in certain situations such as dental and doctor visits, it is important that learners understand how to behave in normal, social environments and this outing is one of several Little Star offers its learners to address these concerns.
