Bringing Smiles to Chennai We Little India’s First Preventive Pediatric Dentistry with Tero 3D Scanning Technology launched
We Little have been synonymous with painless pediatric dentistry and infusing smiles in kids and their parents’ lives. We Little is India’s first Preventive Pediatric Dentistry and has been seeding smiles since 2012 in Coimbatore. They have now opened their brand new dental facility in the buzzing capital city at RK Salai, Mylapore.
Going to the dentist can be a harrowing experience for both kids and their parents, The sterile and clinical environment causes undue fear in kids and makes them suffer unnecessarily. To change this scary scenario, the Clinic has a play area, attic and an atrium for kids to feel relaxed and comfortable. The spacious and inviting 4000 Square feet Pediatric Dentistry Clinic has interiors resembling a submarine and lavishly decorated with aquatic life making it fun and adventurous for kids. A big attraction is their cute and adorable mascot Panda named ‘Wee Wee’. Wee wee connects with kids on their level and is their smile companion, snooze partner and dental health partner. The much-loved panda represents the brand values of We Little such as Smile, Sleep and Health. The friendly doctors and ever-smiling support staff builds confidence and helps kids to address their dental issues positively.
Normally, Dental impressions aren’t a very pleasant experience. Understanding this We Little Chennai becomes the first pediatric dental clinic in the country to be equipped with state of the art 3D Scanning Technology – iTero (USA) making the process as easy as just clicking a picture.
In an effort to spread the awareness on importance of sleep & it’s role of wellness and health, We Little launched an innovative concept “sleep passport” on World Sleep Awareness day (21 March 2021).
