Summary of this video by Dr. Kevin Hayes:
Dr. Kevin Hayes explains that the “family” in Hayes Family Dentistry is more than a name. It reflects his team’s commitment to caring for patients of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. He describes how children often start by simply exploring the dental chair while a parent is being seen, gradually becoming comfortable enough for their own exams. By starting early and building trust, the practice is able to provide long-term care for entire families across generations.
Your Family Deserves Care That Grows With You
At Hayes Family Dentistry, “family” is more than just part of our name – it’s at the heart of everything we do.
As Dr. Kevin Hayes puts it, “Well, Hayes Family Dentistry. The word family is in there, you know. So how that usually works is we’ll have a mom or a dad in the chair. And they’ll have a two-, three-, or four-year-old – and they’re inquisitive. They’d like to know about hopping up in the chair. So we let them hop up in the chair.”
Our approach to family dentistry in Cookeville, TN, focuses on fostering a sense of curiosity and comfort in children from the start. By allowing little ones to explore and get familiar with the dental chair, we help them overcome apprehension and embrace dental visits as a regular part of life. Early exams are crucial for spotting cavities and assessing tooth alignment, setting the stage for healthy development and prevention of potential issues.
It starts with one parent, one curious child, and before long, we’ve had the joy of caring for kids, teens, parents and grandparents, all under the same roof, ensuring that every family member enjoys optimal oral health for a lifetime.
