As pediatric dentists, we are trained to diagnose and treat dental problems in patients with special health care needs. By establishing a dentist-patient relationship at a young age, our special needs patients learn preventive oral health practices which significantly reduce their risk of preventable diseases. Children with special needs often face oral health care challenges, and we provide individualized, compassionate care they deserve.
Some special children are very susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease, or oral trauma. Others require medication or diet detrimental to dental health. Still other children have physical difficulty with effective dental habits at home. The good news is, dental disease is preventable. If dental care is started early and followed conscientiously, every child can enjoy a healthy smile for life.
A first dental visit by the first birthday will start your child on a lifetime of good dental health. Our office will take a full medical history, gently examine your child's teeth and gums, then plan preventive care designed for your child's needs.
Your child will benefit from the preventive approach recommended for all children such as effective brushing and flossing, moderate snacking, and adequate fluoride. Home care takes just minutes a day and prevents preventable dental problems.
