What is special needs dentistry?

Special needs dentistry helps children and individuals with special needs receive quality dental care and maintain their oral health. Children with special needs are often at greater risk for tooth decay and dental disease, and they may require specific treatments or additional care to maintain a healthy mouth and smile. Our pediatric dentist and team are dedicated to providing children with special needs the quality care they need in a comfortable and compassionate environment.
