Regular visits to the dentist are a rite of passage for young people in our society – but among youth in residential treatment programs it’s not uncommon to find kids who haven’t had proper dental care before in their lives.
For the latest edition of the Conversations with KidsPeace podcast, host Bob Martin sat down with Dr. Andrea DiPaul, the dentist for clients in KidsPeace’s programming at the Orchard Hills Campus in Pennsylvania. They discussed how her experience growing up helps her relate to the kids she sees — and how their reaction to sitting in the dentist’s chair might surprise you.
