On my recent trip to Colorado, I got off the plane in Denver and immediately drove to the dentist’s office. No worries, this was not due to any issue with my teeth. It was actually to check out a really unique concept at Perfect Teeth for Kids in Centennial, CO where they have a complete arcade and laser tag arena available as a reward that kids can earn following a great check-up or dental procedure.
There’s a sense of whimsy and fun at this office from the moment
you walk through the door and find the other “patients” sitting throughout the
lobby.
When I arrived, I was greeted by Summer Marczuk, the Director of
Pediatrics, as well as the office manager, Paige, who invited me to take a look
around.
I entered “The Smile Zone” where they have an arcade that could
rival a few FECs that I’ve been to with a full assortment of games and even a prize
redemption counter! Kids can earn points to use here, which certainly makes for
a great incentive for those kids to practice good dental hygiene and look forward
to their visit to the dentist.
The full laser tag arena really amazed me. This was an impressive
arena that could stand alone as an attraction all by itself! Summer told me
that these attractions were added about nine months ago and not only is it something
the kids look forward to, but a first in concept also. Their Dental Touch Smiles
office located in Delaware has had an arcade for over ten years, but Perfect
Teeth in Centennial is the first and (at present) the only one of their 240
affiliated dental offices nationwide to have added laser tag, making it a
really special place to visit.
I was excited to try out some laser tag equipment by LaserTag.Net.
It’s not often that I come across a system that I have not played before, so I
was particularly intrigued to try out this gear during a one-on-one game
against Summer.
Three tags will deactivate a player, however they can respawn
throughout the game. Although versions of this system can be played with a
vest, here they use a cross body sash of sensors and stand-alone FALCON laser
tag phasers.
After playing some laser tag I was able to tour the dental
practice and learn more about what they do here. With four doctors available
(two pediatric dentists and two orthodontists) they are able to take care of
check-ups, orthodontics, preventative, fillings, emergency and restoration for
patients in their exam areas that are full of fun decorative touches as well.
I am thoroughly impressed with the ingenuity of adding laser tag
as an incentive for kids to have a great dental check-up. Perfect Teeth for
Kids is a place I would want to visit myself and I appreciate them allowing me to
experience “The Smile Zone” upon my arrival in Colorado. Many thanks!
