Special Needs Dentistry

At Pediatric Dental Associates & Orthodontics, we understand that every child is unique. If your child needs extra support due to physical, medical, developmental, behavioral or sensory needs, our board-certified pediatric dentists can provide compassionate, personalized dental care. Our doctors are specially trained to care for children with special healthcare needs, and we work to make each visit as comfortable, positive and predictable as possible.

When you and your child visit our office, we will customize the appointment based on your child’s comfort level, communication style and individual needs. Our goal is to help your child feel safe and supported while receiving the dental care they need. We invite you to speak with us before the first visit so we can better understand your child’s needs and help you know what to expect.

Personalized Dental Care for Children With Special Needs

If your child struggles with brushing, flossing or daily oral hygiene at home, our pediatric dentists can provide practical tips and suggestions to make home care easier. We will work with your family’s personal situation to create a care approach that supports your child’s oral health and helps build positive habits over time.

Our team is committed to providing patient, respectful care for children with a wide range of needs, including children with autism, sensory sensitivities, medical conditions, developmental differences and dental anxiety. We take time to listen, adapt and provide care at a pace that works for your child whenever possible.
