Sugar the Therapy Dog - Clifton & Mauney

Chapel Hill’s Dental and Orthodontic Canine Companion!

If you’d like to have Sugar present during your next appointment, simply call 919-933-1007 or include a note in our appointment request form that you’d like a visit from Sugar!

Have you ever had your orthodontist or dentist tell you that sugar is good for you? Here at Clifton and Mauney, we have a special type of Sugar that we share with all our patients, and it isn’t the kind that will rot your teeth. Meet our therapy dog, Sugar! In our effort to make our Chapel Hill office the most comfortable and welcoming place for your orthodontic and dental visits, we have enlisted the help of our little canine friend. Sugar is in our office at least one day a week to assist our doctors in the care of our pediatric and special needs patients, or any patient that may be experiencing anxiety or worry about their visit. We have found that patients have responded extremely well to having Sugar around them during their visit; they find themselves more at ease and comfortable when there’s a happy furry friend to keep them company!
