Comfort Dental Dog | Positive Dental Experience

 A Pawsitive Presence: Celebrating Our Comfort Dog at LADD Dental Group 🐾

At LADD Dental Group, we pride ourselves on providing compassionate, patient-centered care—and that doesn’t just come from our amazing team of dentists and staff. It also comes from one of our most beloved and gentle team members: our comfort dental dog.

Words can't fully express how grateful we are for the calming, joyful presence she brings to our offices each and every day. Whether it's a nervous child visiting the dentist for the first time, a patient with dental anxiety, or even a stressed-out team member in need of a quick emotional reset, our sweet comfort dog is always ready to lend a paw (and a cuddle).

Her gentle nature, intuitive spirit, and unwavering friendliness remind us all to slow down and breathe. She’s more than just a support animal—she’s family. Patients of all ages light up when they see her wagging tail and soft eyes. She has a unique way of making our clinical environment feel a little more like home.

We’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference she makes. From lowering stress levels to creating memorable, positive experiences, our comfort dental dog embodies the heart of LADD Dental Group: care, compassion, and connection.

So today—and every day—we say thank you to our four-legged team member. You may not wear a white coat, but your impact is undeniable. 🐶💙

If you haven’t met her yet, be sure to ask about our comfort dog the next time you visit. We promise she’s always happy to meet a new friend.

Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work .
