Every great dental office needs a little extra comfort, and at Mitten Family Dental, we have help in that department – from a very special four-legged friend. Meet Arlo, our beloved office dog and mascot!
Arlo is part of what makes our practice feel like home. His calm presence, gentle personality, and friendly demeanor help create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere for patients of all ages.
Why an Office Dog?
At Mitten Family Dental, we're committed to offering every aspect of dentistry you need under one roof – including those that make your treatment experience as comfortable as possible. Studies show that therapy animals can help reduce stress, ease anxiety, and promote relaxation, and we’ve seen that firsthand with Arlo.
Arlo's gentle presence can help:
- Ease dental anxiety
- Create a calming environment
- Offer comfort during longer appointments
- Make visits more enjoyable for children and adults alike
Of course, Arlo’s interactions are always optional. Your comfort comes first!
Come Say Hi to Arlo
Arlo is more than a mascot; he's an essential member of our Mitten Family. You might find him greeting patients at the front desk or quietly offering companionship during a visit. Our in-house furry friend embodies what our practice stands for: warmth, comfort, and genuine care.
At your next visit to Mitten Family Dental, keep an eye out for a friendly tail wag. Arlo can't wait to meet you!
