What Makes Special Needs Dental Care Different?

A child with special needs playing at the dentistChildren 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.

Great office with a caring staff!

My son use to cry when coming to the dentist due to his autism. But Lonestar staff continues to be extremely patient and caring with him each time. Each time he gets braver and does better when needing to get x-rays and cleanings. Great office with a caring staff!

A mother hugging her daughter with special needsAt Lone Star Smiles for Kids, we believe exceptional special needs dental care begins with genuine relationships and understanding. Dr. Boling's thoughtful approach is based on three principles that guide every patient with your unique child.

1. Partnership with Parents

We value your expertise as a parent. No one understands your child's unique needs, preferences, and challenges better than you do. Dr. Boling begins each relationship with an in-depth conversation about your child's specific situation, previous experiences with healthcare providers, and strategies that have proven successful in other settings.

We've designed our practice environment and treatment protocols to be highly adaptable. Based on individual needs, we can adjust everything from appointment length to sensory accommodations. This flexible mindset means we can create positive experiences even for children who have struggled with dental visits in the past.

3. Empathy and Understanding

Every team member is carefully chosen for their clinical skills and ability to connect with children with special healthcare needs. At our dental practice, patience, empathy, and genuine care are as important as technical expertise. We celebrate each child's progress, whether completing their first successful dental cleaning or simply becoming comfortable in our dental chair.
