Erin Taylor, DDS, brings her therapy dog, a goldendoodle, with her to all three Pediatric Dentistry locations. The therapy dog comforts patients who may be anxious about visiting the dentist. The dog’s presence has been helpful to Dr. Taylor and many patients, according to NBC2.

“I have patients who have never been able to sit through just a cleaning who can now sit through a cleaning,” Dr. Taylor told NBC2.

Pediatric Dentistry has offices in Bonita Springs, Fla., Cape Coral, Fla., and Port Charlotte, Fla.
