The Special Dental Needs of Special Children
Children with special needs are much more likely to have dental anxiety, suffer from higher rates of dental problems compared to the general population, and be unable to remain physically comfortable during an appointment, all of which can make even routine care extremely challenging.
Establishing consistent oral hygiene is essential to the long-term health of any child, but it’s especially important for little ones with special needs because their smiles tend to be more at risk for cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
At Appolonia Dentistry for Children, we are willing to do anything to make it easier for special patients to come see us.
