What Is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry encompasses the dental treatments and services that children and teens need to protect their oral health. Our compassionate dentist provides these services along with the expert approach that your child needs. We combine years of experience and training in helping special needs children with advanced technology to create an environment where your little one feels welcome and safe.
The training that our team has received to help kids with special needs covers medical, cognitive, developmental, and physical needs. We take the time to get to know your child and fully understand their unique situation to craft a treatment plan that is tailored to them and their specific needs.
Sedation Options for Children with Special Needs
Our team understands that some of our patients with special needs struggle with anxiety, and that's why we offer sedation options to help your child enjoy a calm and positive experience when they visit our dental practice.
We provide nitrous oxide in-office to help children relax during their visit. For those who struggle with more extreme anxious behaviors or require more extensive treatments and dental services, we provide general anesthesia in our surgical center. This allows your child to sleep peacefully through their dental treatment.
