Read on to learn how Alameda Pediatric Dentistry provides special needs dentistry
Going to the dentist can be uncomfortable and scary for anyone, especially for a child with special needs. Because of this, children with special needs are twice as likely not to receive necessary oral health care.
However, your child’s experience at the dentist does not have to be a bad one. The skilled pediatric dentists and orthodontic specialists at Alameda Pediatric Dentistry are ready, willing, and able to help. Their dentists and staff have completed additional training with a focus on working with children with special needs.
Dr. MyLinh Ngo encourages families stating, “We urge you not to delay a visit if you’re concerned with how your child may react. We have created a comfortable, friendly, and safe environment for them to call their dental home.”
Alameda Pediatric Dentistry can provide dental care for kids with issues related to mobility, communication, feeding and swallowing, sensory, noise & pain threshold, and other special needs.
How does Alameda Pediatric Dentistry treat kids with special needs?
Alameda Pediatric Dentistry reserves quieter times for patients who need a less stimulating environment. They have private rooms with dimmable lights to create a calmer atmosphere. They offer desensitization visits to introduce your child gradually to the new environment with a positive association. They have sensory objects, protective stabilization, and 3D digital imaging.
Dr. Sharine Thenard shares, “We have learned techniques and have different approaches we employ for each patient, as they are each special and unique. Because we have a full variety of services and every tool at our disposal, we can provide a complete array of treatment options: preventative, restorative, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and even general anesthesia administered in-office or at Kaiser Hospital.”
