Your Special Needs Child Is In Good Hands
A trained dentist is the best option for children with special needs because they have the knowledge, skills, and experience to provide appropriate and effective dental care for this population. Ethos Dental Studio is committed to providing exceptional dental care to all pediatric patients, including those with a variety of special needs. The clinic is wheelchair accessible, and Dr. Mangat has extensive training and experience with special needs patients, such as those with Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome or cerebral palsy and is able to provide varying levels of added care as needed.
One of the main challenges when treating children with special needs is communication. A trained dentist like Dr. Mangat will be able to understand and communicate with the child in a way that they can understand and feel comfortable with. They may use visual aids, such as pictures or videos, to explain procedures and help the child feel more at ease. They may also be able to use sign language or other forms of communication to help the child express their needs and concerns.
Q | How do I get my autistic child to the dentist?
A | Taking an autistic child to the dentist can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can make the experience more manageable for both the child and the parents.
It's important to remember that every child with autism is unique and may respond differently to dental appointments, so it's important to work closely with the pediatric dentist and to be flexible in your approach.
Q | Why is a special needs dentist important?
A | Special needs dentists are important because they have the training and expertise to provide dental care for individuals with special needs, such as those with physical or cognitive disabilities, developmental disorders, and medical conditions that affect their oral health. These dentists are able to adapt their techniques and equipment to meet the unique needs of their patients and provide a comfortable and safe experience. Additionally, they can provide guidance on oral care at home and may work in conjunction with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
Q | What steps should a dentistry team take when working with special needs children?
