I came here with my 18 year old daughter who has an immense fear of Doctors and Dentist , The kindness and understanding without any judgement we received from Dr.Thom was just unbelievable. The work he did on my daughter was life changing for her . I would recommend him to anyone . Just amazing, kind talented Doctor.

We met Dr. Shawn in Sept 2023 and in December, he removed our adult nonverbal son's wisdom teeth. Not gonna hold you, general anesthesia is billed incrementally (by the minute/quarter-hour) and is a heavy financial investment. I love this clinic because it really is a safe space for special needs families. There's a huge calm that accompanies knowing your dependent person is getting healthy. Dr. Shawn is exceptional. We drove 6 hours to get here so we'll choose a local practice for routine sedation cleanings down the road. I hope to see more neurodivergent acceptance built locally in our state's dentistry like this team has here. Meanwhile we are so grateful for this practice and grateful our son was in Dr. Shawn's care.

Dr. Thoms and Robin are excellent in their care, concern, and support. Dr. Thoms explains everything and takes his time. If I have questions or concerns, he is easy to talk to and listens well.Robin is right there by my side throughout procedures. Her technical skills and professionalism are impressive. She is terrific!

Individualized care, expertise in general anesthesia, and attention to detail are why we keep returning for our son.

Bring them back to their bed and pull a magic trick

If your child comes to get you and is sad that the Tooth Fairy forgot them, then take them back to bed with a dollar in hand. Rustle through the bed, planting the dollar so you can “find” it, and let them know that they must have been so restless in their sleep that the dollar got shifted around in the bed.

Tell them that the Tooth Fairy takes one day off a week

If the Tooth Fairy forgot to come collect, then tell your little one that everyone needs a day off. Even if they were slightly disappointed, just let them know that the day the Fairy chooses is always random and it just means they will come the next day. That will give them one more day of anticipation. Just make sure to have the money ready to go, so that they aren’t disappointed two days in a row!

Have the money prepared ahead of time

To make sure that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t forget, have a little tooth box ready and waiting. Hide it under the bed before your child even loses their tooth, so that you won’t ever forget and end up feeling bad. Once it is emptied, refill it again and hide it in a new place in the room. Prevention is the best way to make sure not to disappoint your child by falling asleep before you get to it or forget to plant the money altogether. If you don’t get to take the tooth, just tell your little one that the Tooth Fairy’s bag must have been full, but she will be back later to pick it up.

Pay for the teeth in a lump sum

If you know that you probably will forget to leave money every time your child loses a tooth, pay close attention to it the very first time and make a big deal about it by giving them a bigger sum of money. Tell them that the Tooth Fairy is paying ahead of time for all of their teeth, and forget about the hassle of doing it each time. Sure, it might seem a little like a cop-out, but if you know yourself well enough and don’t want to disappoint them, they will be okay with a larger sum of money if you make a big enough deal out of the first.

As parents, you have so many things to remember and do. If the Tooth Fairy is a no-show, don’t feel too bad; everyone has forgotten something. The best way to ensure that she always shows up is to have a plan ahead of time so that you never disappoint.
