Special Needs Dentistry
If you have a child in your care who has special needs, ensuring their dental health can sometimes pose a challenge. Going to the dentist’s office can be an anxious experience for a child with medical, physical, cognitive, or developmental conditions. A practice that specializes in providing dental care to children with special needs can make an otherwise difficult situation much easier.
We treat patients with special needs the same way we treat all our patients—as unique individuals. We never expect children to behave a certain way in our office; instead, we meet them where they’re at and accommodate their needs. Our team listens to your child’s feedback, watches for nonverbal cues, and takes notes to help us anticipate their needs for their next appointment. We treat every patient with empathy, patience, and respect.
Specialized Training and Experience
A dental office may tell you that they accept patients with special needs, but this is not enough to ensure that they are ready to provide the specific type of care your child requires. Dr. Godoy and her team have received extensive training in accommodating patients with special needs. As a pediatric dental practice, special needs dentistry is one of our specialties, which means we also have the necessary experience to provide exceptional care.
Compassion and Understanding
In order to be successful working with patients who have special needs, and their families, dentists and support staff need to have compassion as well as understanding. Compassion involves treating patients with respect, speaking to them calmly and kindly, and knowing their boundaries. Our commitment to all our patients and their families is that we’ll do everything we can to make your experience at our office comfortable and stress-free.
