Read on to learn how Alameda Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides dentistry to patients with special needs!
Going to the dentist can be uncomfortable and scary for anyone, especially for a child with special needs. As a result, children with special needs are twice as likely not to receive necessary oral health care. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The skilled providers at Alameda Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics create a positive, supportive experience for every child. Their team has completed advanced training with a focus on caring for children with special needs.
My son was 8 years old at his very first dental appointment, and I knew instantly that the staff and dentists truly cared about him and his needs. They went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and safe. Finding a dentist for a child with special needs isn’t easy, but we’ve found our dental home for life.

Dr. MyLinh Ngo encourages families, saying, “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 differences, feeding and swallowing, sensory, noise & pain threshold, and other special needs.
Alameda Pediatric Dentistry offers a complimentary first dental visit for new patients under 24 months old when you mention 510 Families. Offer includes an exam, cleaning, and fluoride at no charge.
How does Alameda Pediatric Dentistry treat kids with special needs?
- Complementary desensitization visits to introduce a child gradually to the new environment
- Quieter appointment times can be reserved in a private room with dimmable lighting
- Modern technology includes the iTero scanner (no goopy impressions)
- Ceiling-mounted tv screens above every chair as a distraction
- Protective stabilization and sedation options are available as well
Dr. Sharine Thenard says, “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.”
Solea Laser: The Miracle We’ve All Been Waiting For
Instead of drills or scalpels, the Solea laser uses pulsated light energy for many procedures, often with no pain, no numbing, and faster healing. Parents describe it as “zero-anxiety” dentistry, and kids love that there’s no scary noise or vibration.
