The friendly pup has an important job at the office: sitting on patients' laps while they're in the dental chair and providing a little extra comfort during their appointment.

For some patients, having a calm and affectionate dog nearby can make the experience feel a whole lot less intimidating.
Instead of facing the dental chair alone, they have a furry friend there to keep them company.
