We Love Working With Kids of All Needs
Our compassionate team is trained to provide gentle, personalized dental care for children with special needs. We create a safe, comfortable environment and adapt our approach to ensure every child receives the quality oral healthcare they deserve.
The Benefits of Special Needs Dentistry
Better Patient Accommodations
Your child’s dentist can do things like adjust office lighting and sound for patients with sensory issues, use special equipment to treat patients, and provide additional staff to ensure that special needs patients get the personalized care they need.
Expert Care For Every Patient
Special needs dentists know how to treat patients with a wide variety of physical, mental, and developmental impairments. Your child’s dentist will know how to keep them safe and comfortable as they get the dental care they need.
Comfort With Sedation
A wide variety of sedation options are available, which allow their patients to rest, relax, and even sleep soundly through their appointment. Sedation is a very useful tool for patients who may otherwise have trouble being treated in a traditional dental environment.
The Special Needs Dentistry Process
Initial Health Discussion
Initial Health Discussion
To begin, your special needs dentist will meet with you and/or your child, and review their medical history, records, medications they're taking, and other details. Every special needs patient is different, so it’s important for their dentist to develop a full understanding of their health and disabilities.
Oral Exam & Teeth Cleaning
Oral Exam & Teeth Cleaning
The first step toward better oral health is a comprehensive oral exam and teeth cleaning. This gives our team the opportunity to learn more about your child’s health, identify potential oral health issues, and understand the next steps for a healthier mouth.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Personalized Treatment Plan
After their consultation, your child’s dentist will discuss their oral health with you. They will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, including both any necessary in-office care and recommendations for at-home oral hygiene.
