How Do We Help Our Patients with Special Needs Feel Comfortable?
We ask that if you have a child with special needs at home, please give us a call ahead of their appointment, and we’ll do whatever we can to make sure they have a comfortable experience. We will go at their pace and can do things to alter the lighting, scent, and layout of our office to suit them. Sedation dentistry is also an option for persistent nerves and is a safe way to calm them, plus it can enable our team to complete multiple procedures in a single visit to save time.
Dental Tips for Patients with Special Needs
The biggest tip is that the best thing you can do for a child with special needs is keep up with their regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings. This is the most effective way to make sure a child avoids dental problems rather than just having to get them fixed. Dr. Mehta will also work with you to help establish a realistic at-home routine so that you can keep your child’s teeth protected and healthy between appointments.
