Compassionate Care for Every Child
We know firsthand the challenges faced by parents and caregivers of children with special needs, and we strive to ease those challenges by providing specialized dental care tailored to them.
Dr. Lesa and Dr. Andrew are highly trained and experienced in treating children with a variety of special needs, including cognitive, physical, sensory, and behavioral challenges. Our entire team is dedicated to making dental visits as stress-free and positive as possible for both the child and their family.
Individualized Treatment Plans
Every child is unique, and we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to treating children with special needs.
During the new patient intake process, our team takes the time to listen to parents’ concerns and gather all necessary information about the child’s medical history and diagnoses. This allows us to create an individualized treatment plan that caters to the specific needs and expectations of each child.
We also offer various accommodations to ensure a successful appointment, such as TVs in private rooms for favorite shows, tell-show-do techniques for introducing dental instruments, and allowing children to bring their favorite toys or devices.
We are always open to discussing alternative options with parents to make sure their child feels comfortable and at ease during their visit.
Open Communication for Optimal Care
Communication is key when it comes to treating children with special needs. Our team makes sure to check in with parents throughout the appointment and ask for feedback at the end. This allows us to address any concerns or preferences and make necessary adjustments for future appointments.
We also collaborate with parents on a plan for the next visit and thoroughly document all discussions and plans. This has been very rewarding for parents and our team as we are able to build on each appointment rather than starting over and redoing conversations every appointment.
