Every child is different. And if your little one has health problems that make their treatment difficult for any reason, a special needs dentist can help. Special needs dentists have experience with children and special needs patients of all types. From kids with sensory sensitivity, ASD Autism Spectrum Disorder , and a variety of other conditions, our experienced team can ensure your little one gets the care they need. Our team 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 patients with special healthcare needs get the personalized care they need.
Special needs dentists know how to treat patients with a wide variety of physical, mental, and developmental impairments. A wide variety of sedation options are available, which allow 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. Rest assured that your child is receiving top-notch, specialized care with our Board-Certified Pediatric Dentists. To be recognized by The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, doctors must undergo extensive training in the pediatric field in addition to their standard dental degrees.
No child deserves to struggle with fear or pain during treatment. Sedation options are an effective way to help your kiddo get the care they need without discomfort or anxiety. Numbing shots and noisy drills can cause unnecessary anxiety and fear for kiddos. Going to the dentist is a significant experience, with new faces, sounds, and expectations. To help your child adjust, our awesome team will give your child a tour of our office, introduce the friendly faces, and teach them about dental tools.
This helps your kiddo get acclimated with our space so they can feel safe, secure, and cared for. The first step toward better oral health is a comprehensive oral exam and teeth cleaning. 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.
