Our Favorite Dental Assistant

Teddy is our sweet, four-legged employee and therapy pup in training! He's a mini Goldendoodle and excited to help our patients enjoy a pawsitive experience while visiting Shawnee Pediatric Dentistry.

Making trips to the dentist fun

Teddy is currently in obedience training and working towards his therapy pup certificate to help reduce our patients' anxiety and stress. His job is to create a fun and comfortable environment.

When he's not in his designated office, he'll be on a leash with a trained handler by his side for patients who may feel nervous around dogs.

What are the benefits of a therapy dog?
