At Children's Dentistry of Trappe, Dr. Eric Hans and his staff are committed to providing the best care possible for every child. Reaching out to our community to educate children on how to best care for their teeth and gums is one small part of that commitment.

Ms. Sarah is a Hygienist at Children's Dentistry of Trappe. She visits local preschools, daycare centers, elementary schools, libraries, and other children's events, programs and groups with a fun and engaging educational presentation. Each program is under 30 minutes, and the children are given "goody bags" with some fun items as well as the traditional new toothbrush & toothpaste. 

Dr. Eric, Ms. Sarah, and the entire CDOT staff family embrace our core values (Excellence, Family, Integrity, Love, Caring, Fun) with unwavering commitment. The result? Children feel comfortable and even excited to visit the dentist, embracing the beginning of a lifetime of good oral health. Here at CDOT, our children and their parents experience a sense of "family" and thus, adopt our "home" as their child's dental home for their entire childhood.

June 5 - 6, 2021 Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Cardiac Center is hosting Philly Spin-In "Ride for little hearts." Ride at Home or Outdoors in Philadelphia. Many of our children right here in our local community have received & are receiving excellent care at CHOP's Cardiac Center. Together, we can help support their efforts. Dr. Eric is on a team - riding & raising funds. For the first $1K donated by patients & families, Dr. Eric is matching $ for $, every dollar donated. When we reach our $2K goal, Dr. Eric will add $500, for a total donation of $2,500. Click on the donation link below. https://chop.donordrive.com/participant/DrEric

One way Children's Dentistry of Trappe supports the families in our communities is participating in local community fairs and special events. In early May 2021, we celebrated a great day in Spring City, with SCABA, Spring City Area Business Association. It was a great day, a great turnout and our very own Rob performed some magic for the children. The event was held along the Schuykill Riveredge, just over the bridge from Royersford (behidnthe former site of the Burger King). Live Music, DJ, Food, Vendors, Face Painting, Potato Sack Races, a BBQ Rib Cook-off Contest, a Beer Garden. Fire Equipment Relay Race, and a Dunk Tank. For children that love fire trucks, police cars and ambulances, they enjoyed the chance to explore. Thank you Karen, Rob & SCABA for all your efforts and supporting our community this way!

If you are a regular patient at our dental home, you know we like to have kid-friendly fun! Our dental staff family is creative and brings lots of "color" to our days here in our dental home on Main Street. However, the pandemic has had us missing seeing our waiting rooms filled with children playing and parents talking.

Maybe you can help bring some love and "color" and happiness to our family & home by sending us your COLORING CREATION! The only rule? Use crayons! Share or send us a photo on our Facebook page, bring your Color Creation page with you to your appointment this month, or if you are driving by, simply call us, we can get it from you "curbside drop-off style"! By sharing our pictures, we are celebrating National Crayon Day together all month long in a fun, but virtual, way. We can't wait to see your creative creations! Winners announced in May.
