Our specialist paediatric dental team has extensive experience in providing dental care for children with additional / special needs i.e. children who may have a physical, developmental, genetic, emotional, sensory or motor impairment or children with learning disabilities, anxiety and dental phobia, and children with other medical conditions that make standard dental procedures difficult.
We understand that children with special needs require extra support for appropriate oral health care given they may be at a higher risk of dental problems such as decay, chalky teeth, gum disease and oral trauma) and require additional attention. Associated conditions, risk factors and any medications taken may affect the type of treatment we recommend. We also consider the challenges at home regarding oral health habits. Preventive care and dental treatment tend to be tailored based on individual needs related to their conditions.
We welcome all children with additional / special needs and provide a friendly, safe and comfortable environment for their dental care and give the attention and gentle support they require for a positive dental experience. Our surgery is designed to be physically accessible for special need patients.
