We were so excited to welcome Pogie the Yogie to First Choice Dental! 🦷✨

In Pogie’s newest episode, he visits the dentist to learn about keeping “sugar bugs” at bay and how dental teams work together with patients to keep smiles healthy. It’s a fun and reassuring way for kids (and parents!) to see what happens during a dental visit and feel more comfortable before their own appointment.

A big thank you to Dr. Gundersen, Miranda, and Suzanne for helping guide Pogie through his visit and showing how we partner with our patients to care for healthy smiles.
