Having a little bit of anxiety when going to the dentist is normal for everyone. Those with special needs, however, tend to feel their emotions at a higher intensity – which can add challenges to the dental visit. 

Parents of those with special needs know just how important it is to find a pediatric dentist that is trained and qualified in successfully treating their children. 

Every single one of our young patients is special to us – and if your child has special healthcare needs, we’re here to offer good, quality oral care. By choosing a dentist that offers special needs pediatric dentistry, both the parent and the patient can find comfort with the entire experience.

The term “special needs” refers to all children who require a little special attention. This includes patients who have conditions such as: 

• Developmental disabilities
• Physical and mental disabilities
• Congenital disabilities
• Learning disabilities
• Neurological disabilities
• Terminal illnesses

Everyone benefits from special needs pediatric dentistry. The patient has access to high-quality dental care. The parents can finally exhale and relax, knowing that their child is getting the needs met, and we get the pleasure of helping your child build a strong foundation for oral health.

At Dental Associates for Kids Only, LLP, it is our goal to look out for the best interest of your child. When we have a patient that has special needs, we take the patient’s unique condition into account with our treatment and approach, ensuring a fulfilling and stress-free experience.

Nobody should have to forego a good, quality dental experience due to special circumstances. Our compassionate team wants to give your child the best foundation for lifelong oral health – and it starts with a dental visit focused on a high level of individualized, thoughtful care.
