What Makes Special Needs Dental Care Different?
Children with special healthcare needs often face unique oral health challenges. During each visit, Dr. Boling will identify issues that could put your child at risk for cavities, gum disease, and infections, including:
- Medications that affect their oral health
- Physical challenges impacting daily dental care
- Dietary factors that might increase cavity risk
- Growth and development patterns that need special attention
- Bite alignment and jaw development
- Teeth grinding or wear patterns on teeth
Based on these findings, Dr. Boling will discuss a treatment plan to address immediate needs and help prevent future problems. This might include recommending specialized toothbrushes, prescribing additional fluoride protection, or discussing oral hygiene practices that adapt to your child's situation.
Finding the right dental care for your child with special needs means finding a team who truly understands, cares, and has the expertise to help. At Lone Star Smiles for Kids, Dr. Brant Boling has dedicated his career to serving children with unique healthcare needs.
