The Special Dental Needs of Special Children

Children with special needs tend to suffer from higher rates of dental problems compared to the general population for a number of reasons. For one, many are physically incapable of brushing and flossing their teeth, while others suffer from debilitating dental phobia. Establishing consistent oral hygiene is essential to the long-term health of any child, but it’s especially important for little ones with special needs because their smiles tend to be more at risk for cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.

How We Can Help

For our special patients, our team has developed an effective two-part strategy that has already seen fantastic results with other children. Firstly, we work closely with parents to help their child develop an oral hygiene routine at home. Secondly, we do everything we can to help a child feel comfortable in our dental office so they can receive professional care without experiencing any fear or anxiety. Every treatment plan is custom-designed for each unique child, and we’re happy to do whatever we can to help your little one smile.
