Special Needs Dentistry for Your Kids and Teens

Our staff is experienced in helping young patients with special needs get the dental care they need. You can be sure that your child or teenager will be in good hands at Smiles 4 Keeps.

• We have created a safe, caring environment that is conducive to helping our patients obtain a high level of oral health. Parents can feel confident about bringing their children or teens into our office.
• Patients can come in for an initial visit to help them become familiar with our office and staff, and we can make additional accommodations as needed. We want to make your child’s dental appointments as easy as possible for your entire family.

Many children and teens have difficulty undergoing lengthy procedures, such as tooth extractions or fillings. In addition, feeling nervous and anxious about going to the dentist is very common. Both of these issues can be even more difficult for children with special needs. This is why we offer safe, effective methods of sedation.

• With sedation, the patient is given medication that makes him or her feel very relaxed and at ease without actually being put to sleep. Sedation often makes dental appointments much easier, especially for patients with special needs.
• We offer three forms of sedation: nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Your child’s health and best interests will always be our main concern when we recommend sedation.
