Dental Care for Every Child

At Kids Tooth Team, our mission is to provide exceptional dental care to every child, including those with special needs. Our experienced pediatric dentists are dedicated to delivering compassionate and individualized care in a welcoming environment. If you're child has special needs that require truly tailored care, you've come to the right place.

What Is Special Needs Dentistry?

Special needs dentistry focuses on treating children with cognitive or physical disabilities that can make traditional pediatric dental care challenging.

For instance, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or sensory issues may feel anxious due to the sights and sounds of a dental office. This field also includes caring for children with disabilities and at-risk medical conditions. Our team takes necessary special steps and precautions to treat kids with cardiac or respiratory issues, as well as developmental or sensory processing disorders.

Special needs dentistry is designed to accommodate these unique requirements, ensuring that every child feels safe and comfortable during their treatment.

How Do You Accommodate Special Needs?

We create a customized treatment plan for every child with special needs at our office. Our team will consult with you to understand your child’s unique situation and needs, taking steps to make them feel more comfortable during their visit. We greatly appreciate it when parents fill out the medical history online before coming in, allowing us to review and plan for your child’s needs in advance. Each child with special healthcare needs is unique, so we rely on parents and guardians to help us create an ideal environment by informing us of their likes and dislikes. We also recommend showing your child videos of the office ahead of time so they know what to expect.

To start, we'll schedule a consultation with you and your child to meet the doctor and discuss specific needs. We'll go over their medical history, medications, and other relevant information. Additionally, we offer teledentistry consultations over video, providing an alternative for those who find it difficult to visit the office initially.

We will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan for your child, outlining the steps we will take to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. For instance, if your child has sensory processing sensitivity, we can plan to keep the lights low, provide noise-canceling headphones, set up their favorite movie, and minimize distractions in the room. No matter what special needs your child may have, we’re here to help.

Once we’ve developed your child’s treatment plan, their doctor will provide the necessary dental care for a bright, healthy smile. With regular appointments, your child can avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and more. In some cases, children with special healthcare needs may be eligible for more frequent exams or cleanings, which can aid in the desensitization process of visiting the dentist.
