Boost Digital Patient Engagement with Hyper-Personalised AI Animated Stories
This innovative approach helps children feel prepared and relaxed before their visit, reducing anxiety and making dental appointments easier and more efficient than ever.
Why Modern Clinics Are Moving Beyond "Tell–Show–Do"
PrepStoriesAI® isn’t here to replace what works. We’re here to evolve it.
🧒 Kids today learn through stories, not scripts.
The classic “Tell–Show–Do” approach was revolutionary in its time. But today’s children grow up on Pixar, YouTube, and interactive learning. They need more than a toothbrush demonstration — they need characters they trust and stories they understand.
💡 “Show It. Love It. Do It.” — A Smarter Evolution
PrepStoriesAI® transforms instruction into emotionally engaging, kid-narrated video stories. These videos aren’t just watched — they’re experienced.
- ✅ Builds trust before the visit
- ✅ Narrated by kids, co-designed with families
- ✅ Personalized mascots = better connection
- ✅ Reduces anxiety and improves cooperation
🏆 Backed by Research, Designed for Real Life
Studies show that story-based, emotionally intelligent preparation reduces anxiety by 30–40%. And when kids feel safe, appointments run smoother, faster, and better.
📈 Why Invest?
Because “good enough” isn’t good enough anymore. PrepStoriesAI® helps clinics stand out, reduce chair time, and deliver a truly modern pediatric experience that families remember.
Why Dental Anxiety in Kids Is a Problem?
Approximately 30% of children experience dental anxiety, which leads 1 in 5 kids to miss important dental checkups. This fear can result in delayed visits, worsened oral health, and a cycle of increasing anxiety.
Key Facts
- Dental anxiety peaks in preschoolers aged 2–6 and decreases as children grow older.
- Negative past experiences and parental anxiety are strong risk factors.
- Anxiety causes 10–20% of canceled pediatric appointments.
- Untreated dental issues compound fear and worsen oral health.
Effective Prevention & Treatment
- Pre-visit orientation and kid-friendly environments reduce anxiety.
- Non-pharmacological approaches like distraction and relaxation are effective.
- Virtual reality relaxation and parental preparation improve experiences.
