As our own baby is due today I am reminded of family themes. I once met a dentist who told me about his kids drawing on the walls at home. In the dining room his toddler had drawn a picture of him with exaggerated personal attributes. He and his wife decided to leave it there to promote dinner party conversation. Apparently it made for some hilarious banter.
You might not choose this type of self promotion but you might consider your own kids art in the design of a family dental practice. Children’s art can be delightful in their use of colour and their simplistic world view. For parents if has special meaning and value. In this age of digital printing your own children’s art can be used to personalise your work place. You can get artworks printed on to canvas, fabric or wallpaper.
It is great for your kids ego as well as reminding you of your biggest fans and why you work as hard as you do. For your client base it creates a warm atmosphere and a talking point. It also reminds your clients that you understand the needs of families as you have one yourself. Have you seen family themes used well in surgery design? Send us an email with your thoughts.

Wow, I love this idea and see it could really make a difference to the dental surgery I have been going to all my life.
The old photographs of women with large white teeth and shoulder pads from the 80’s on the wall make me cringe when I go there for a checkup. But your idea of having kids drawings is brilliant. They’ll never go out of date!
Thanks for a wonderful idea.
