Are you in search of a pediatric dentist specializing in special needs dentistry for children? Smile Arc Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for a diverse range of patients, encompassing those with physical disabilities and those facing behavioral and emotional challenges. We embrace the term “exceptional children,” focusing on their positive qualities while addressing their unique needs.
If your child requires exceptional care, here’s what that should encompass:
- Specialized Equipment: Addressing the needs of children with special requirements often involves specialized equipment. Whether accommodating patients in wheelchairs or requiring specific communication tools like hearing assistance, sign language interpretation, or language translation services, Smile Arc Pediatric Dentistry ensures a fully accessible environment.
- Specific Training: Our dentists and support staff undergo specific training in special needs dentistry, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide care to patients with diverse needs and disabilities. From compromised immunity to frequent seizures and blood clotting disorders, our team is equipped to handle various health concerns with the utmost care and precision.
- Plenty of Experience: Beyond training, our team boasts extensive experience in actively treating patients with special needs. This experience is invaluable, especially when dealing with conditions such as autism or severe emotional disorders, where establishing trust and calming fears are crucial. Building relationships with both the children and their parents is a priority, recognizing the significance of routine and familiar faces in creating a comfortable environment.
- Sedation Dentistry: Smile Arc Pediatric Dentistry recognizes the effectiveness of sedation dentistry for children with special needs. This approach ensures that the emotional and physical stress associated with dental procedures is minimized, allowing our team to provide more effective care.
- Additional Staff: For patients with special needs, having additional staff on hand can be crucial. Smile Arc Pediatric Dentistry understands the importance of providing extra support, whether through an extra set of hands or someone dedicated to distraction, ensuring a positive and comfortable experience for every child.
- Dental Advice for Parents of Special Needs Children: When seeking dental care for your child, choose a dentist who not only claims to offer special needs dentistry but also possesses the necessary training, experience, and equipment. At home, encourage self-care by providing accommodations such as electric toothbrushes, stick flossers, and toothbrushes with ergonomic handles for better grip.
