Special Needs Present Unique Dental Challenges
Children with special needs typically are at a higher risk of developing oral concerns for a variety of reasons. For example, those with physical disabilities may find brushing and flossing with a traditional manual toothbrush or string dental floss difficult, while those who have stimulation issues may not like the texture, taste, or sounds of certain oral products (like electric toothbrushes). These factors can increase the risk of developing common dental problems, like cavities and gum disease.

We also offer a number of preventive services to keep their oral health on the right track and keep cavities at bay, like fluoride treatments and early childhood dental visits.
