Special Needs Present Unique Oral Challenges
The way that most toothbrushes are designed and the cumbersome act of flossing teeth using a small strand of dental floss aren’t always accessible for patients with disabilities. Because of this, some patients with special needs may experience an increased risk of common dental health concerns, like cavities. Our team can help you and your child navigate these barriers to excellent oral health seamlessly and helpfully during your routine child’s visits.
How Do We Help Our Patients with Special Needs Feel Comfortable?
Many times, dentists who haven’t worked with many young, disabled patients aren’t aware of how they can help support them by understanding their needs, and most importantly, asking questions! Dr. Joe and our team at Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry keep an eye out for common issues that can emerge in patients who are physically or developmentally disabled, and our team makes sure to ask how we can support our patients. In addition to this, we also offer safe and effective dental sedation for our special needs patients, like nitrous oxide.
