A More Comfortable, Stress-Free Treatment Experience
At Under the Sea Dentistry for Kids, we use advanced technology to make treatment visits easier, more comfortable, and more efficient for your child. Dr. Pamela Butler uses the DryShield system in Vancouver, Washington to gently keep your child’s mouth open while removing water and moisture throughout treatment.
This allows us to work more smoothly while helping your child feel relaxed and at ease.
What Is the DryShield System?
All-in-One Comfort and Protection
The DryShield system is a soft, flexible mouthpiece that combines several tools into one simple device. It acts as a gentle bite block, suction system, and tongue shield—all designed to keep your child comfortable during treatment.
By continuously removing water and keeping the treatment area dry, DryShield helps create a cleaner, more efficient environment while minimizing the need for interruptions.
How DryShield Supports Your Child’s Dental Health
Smoother Visits with Better Efficiency
The DryShield system is commonly used to:
Keep your child’s mouth comfortably open during treatment
Reduce the need for frequent rinsing or suction breaks
Gently remove water and saliva throughout procedures
Help maintain a clean, dry area for more precise care
By combining multiple functions into one device, DryShield allows us to focus more on your child’s care while making the experience easier for them.
A More Relaxed Experience for Kids
Fewer Interruptions, More Comfort
With DryShield, your child can relax their jaw while the system does the work of keeping the area dry and clear. The soft, flexible mouthpiece is designed to fit comfortably, and many children find the experience much easier compared to traditional methods.
Because there are fewer pauses for rinsing or repositioning, treatment is smoother, faster, and less stressful.
A Personalized, Kid-Focused Approach
Every Smile Deserves Special Care
No two children are the same, and neither are their smiles. Dr. Butler and our caring team take time to understand your child’s needs, explain each step in kid-friendly language, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and supported throughout their visit.
Our goal is always the same: a healthy smile and a positive dental experience your child can feel proud of!
