Most children with special needs are prone to dental problems and may require dental treatment. As Kid’s dentist, we obtain an advanced education that concentrates on care for children with special needs. Although some kids may interact with Behavior Guidance Techniques, several would need treatment under general anesthesia.
The children with Special Needs require dental treatment because of the following reasons:
- Increased susceptibility to tooth decay and gum disease
- Chances of injury and oral trauma
- Medication or diet prescribed which disturbs the dental health
- Physical disability unable in maintain oral hygiene
Nevertheless, if the dental care began early and pursued conscientiously, every kid can have a healthy smile. Dental diseases in most of the cases are preventable.
At Kids Smile Dentist, our dentist underwent through the advance preparation and mainly focuses on care for children with special needs. The dental treatment we perform for those kids with the help of Behavior Guidance Techniques and treatment under general anesthesia.
Behavior Guidance Techniques
If you have a kid with a special need, you need to prepare them for their first dental visit.
Kids Smile Dentist is designed primarily for children and our staff enjoys working with kids, so most of our child patients are calm, comfortable and confident at our place.
Our dentist identifies the nature of the patient and works with them accordingly. However, the child’s voluntary cooperation is very much important during the treatment, that’s because some phases of treatment may be unpleasant for a kid. With the help of The Behaviour Guidance Techniques, we ensure that the kid going through the dental treatment will have a pleasant dental experience. Usually, the technique alone enables us to obtain the cooperation of even the extremely fearful and reluctant child.
A child’s behavior throughout treatment needs positive management to protect him from possible injury. Voice control technique usually takes care of it, also some children, especially toddlers, require gentle control of the arms or legs as well.
Treatment Under Sedation
Kids Smile Dentist is one of the few Dentists in India, which offers treatment under Conscious Sedation. Happy Gas is used to calm and relax the non-cooperative patient during the dental procedure.
At Kids Smile Dentist, we recommend General Anesthesia for Kid with the special need, who requires extensive dental treatment.
