Pediatric Special Needs Dental Care in Greensburg
Caring for infants, children, and adolescents with special healthcare needs is an important part of what we do in pediatric dentistry. Our team is committed to:
- Helping each patient prevent dental problems
- Supporting families with education and guidance
- Creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for both children and their caregivers
Together, we will determine the best approach for your child’s dental care, tailoring treatment to meet their unique needs. Our team takes time to listen, adapt, and make each visit as positive as possible.
In some cases, we may use a papoose board, which is a form of gentle, passive restraint. This is used only when necessary and always with safety as the priority. We often explain it to parents as being similar to a car seat for children—its main purpose is protection. Just like a seatbelt keeps a child safe during a car ride, the papoose helps keep a child still and secure so we can complete an exam or treatment safely and effectively, without risk of injury.
When appropriate, sedation may also be recommended to help your child feel more at ease so that essential care can be completed comfortably. Above all, our goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that supports your child’s health, safety, and confidence.
