Dentistry offers pleasant experience for kids

Baxter Wright, 9, sports a pair of shades while dental hygienist Margaret Conrad cleans his teeth Monday afternoon at the office of Dr. Thomas Weyrich Pediatric Dentistry. Pediatric dentistry is a growing trend in the dental field. The office provides the sunglasses if the patient wants them.
When dental hygienist Margaret Conrad arrives at work in the morning, she’s not greeted by the quiet beige walls and elevator music of a typical dentist’s office. Instead she hears upbeat pop tunes and sees a colorful mural of life under the sea. Conrad works at Thomas J. Weyrich Pediatric Dentistry, a dental office just for kids where everything is designed to make children feel at ease.
