Children with special healthcare needs are no different from anyone else when it comes to needing regular dental services such as exams, cleanings, and treatment of cavities.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry defines a person with special healthcare needs as someone who has a physical, developmental, sensory, mental, cognitive, behavioral, or emotional impairment or condition that requires medical management, health care intervention, and/or specialized programs or services. This could include children on the autism spectrum, those with developmental delays, kids with limited mobility, and many more. If your child has any condition that requires extra help or extra time and patience, our office is the place for your family.
Dr. Sara has over two years of special training in providing pediatric dental care for children with special needs. Dr. Sara and the PCO Dental team understand that even routine healthcare can be a bit more challenging for your child. We are here to support you and your family and we will go out of our way to create positive experiences.
