For Parents and Dental Practices
MeowZap Dentist provides short, age-adaptive activities designed for appointment waiting time. Children can play through a participating practice's QR code without creating an individual account or downloading an app. Activities are educational and reassuring, but they do not replace advice from a dentist or other qualified healthcare professional.
How QR access works
- A participating office gets a unique QR code and short access link.
- The code sits at reception, in the waiting room, or on a printed card.
- A parent scans it and the child plays right in the browser.
- No app download, and no individual child account.
Also designed for office iPads, tablets, kiosks, laptops, and desktops.
What we don't collect
- No patient or health information
- No exact birthdates — an age range only
- No child names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, or photos
- No chat, voice, or uncontrolled multiplayer
Practices see anonymous, aggregate usage only.
