Dentistry for Patients with Special Health Care Needs

To ensure their oral health, dentistry for patients with special health care needs requires a unique approach. Our dentists are specialists in caring not only for pediatric patients but also for patients with special health care needs. Our pediatric dentists in Randolph, NJ have undergone additional training to provide optimal care while our office is designed to create a welcoming environment for both children and adults with various special health care needs.

Sensory Awareness
Because many differently abled individuals have heightened sensitivities, we do our best to provide a calming atmosphere.

Communication
Our pediatric dentists and hygienists are trained on effective communication techniques, including simplified language and showing before doing. We understand that establishing trust through clear communication is essential for a positive dental experience.

Preventive Care
In order to avoid potential issues, it is important to maintain a schedule of regular dental visits. Check-ups, cleanings and education on proper oral hygiene are crucial. Our team of pediatric dentists and hygienists work closely with parents and caregivers to develop individualized care plans that suit the patient’s specific needs and abilities.

Sedation/Anesthesia
To ensure a safe and comfortable dental experience, decreasing fear and anxiety is necessary.  For this reason, nitrous oxide or even sedation dentistry may be recommended for treatment.

Collaboration
To achieve the very best outcome for patients with special health care needs, collaboration with caregivers and even other medical providers or therapists is sometimes necessary. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that comprehensive care is tailored to the patient’s overall well-being.
