The program targets children ages 0–7,parents/caregivers as well as pregnant women.The office recently acquired an in-office bleaching system. Theprocess takes about 30 minutes and teeth color changes from 1 to8 shades brighter. There is virtually no sensitivity associated withthis treatment. This system proved to be very popular with patients. Most of the patients with“happy smiles” are existing patients but there have been some “walk-ins” who saw the teethcleaning special advertised. The introductory fee for this system was so popular that the clinicwill run the special again.Page 50 of 64
