Dental Tips for Patients with Special Needs
There are several ways you can specifically accommodate young patients with special needs; while we’ll do everything we can during their appointment, some other things that you can keep in mind include:
- Sensory-friendly strategies are key, such as using soft-bristled toothbrushes and kid-friendly flossers. You can also consider gradually introducing hygiene routines at home.
- Scheduling visits during quieter, less busy times and bringing familiar comfort items can also be impactful.
