No matter how carefully your office staff schedule appointments, there are going to be times when young children will be spending time in your waiting area.  If there is nothing for them to do, they can get bored and restless and before long, they're busy turning magazines into playthings and furniture into playground equipment! It's far better to have something in place to divert their attention. When the kids are happy, your patients will be able to relax without the constant interruptions that young children can make. A child-friendly waiting area with calm, occupied children improves the mood of everyone, inlcuding your staff and the clients without children.  But what will answer this need without creating more problems?

Many well-intended business owners set up a box of toys or a table with crayons and paper without realizing the hazards and troubles that these cause in a professional setting.  Lost and broken toys are a money drain.  Loose toys not only quickly become unsanitary, but also choking and tripping hazards. And crayon art means lots of paper waste--if they stay on the paper!  Don't make these mistakes.  Purchase an item that will stand the test of time and will solve your problem without creating a new one.

Mount a 5-piece Caterpillar Wall Panel on one side of your waiting area and it will become an instant magnet for kids.  This attractive and engaging wall panel has no loose parts, is sturdy, and is built for the sole purpose of entertaining children in high use, public areas.  Mounted on a wall away from busy foot traffic, children will happily explore the many activities.  Parents will be free to watch from nearby seating, or can take care of checking in and out without juggling a child along with their insurance cards and payments.  Customers will leave with the knowledge that you've worked to meet their needs above and beyond dental care, by providing a comfortable, professional waiting area.
