Special Needs
Every child deserves dental care tailored to their unique needs. At Sunbeams Pediatric Dentistry, we provide compassionate, flexible care for children with developmental, sensory, behavioral, or medical differences, creating an environment where your child feels safe and understood.
What Is Special Needs Dentistry?
Special needs dentistry adapts our techniques, pacing, and communication to your child’s individual abilities and sensitivities. We create predictability and familiarity to help children feel at ease during their visit.
What Parents Can Expect
We offer quiet or private rooms, visual supports, behavioral guidance techniques, and “happy visits” to build comfort over time. Appointments are longer when needed, and sedation options are available for children who require additional support.
Why It Matters
- Ensures essential dental treatment is received safely
- Prioritizes comfort and dignity
- Minimizes anxiety and stress
- Builds trust and confidence in dental care
Comfort & Care
We celebrate every success, big or small, and work at your child’s pace to make dental visits positive and empowering.
What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Most dental emergencies fall into one of three main categories:
- Health
- Function
- Aesthetics
Are you unable to eat, or do you have a chipped front tooth that’s too embarrassing to face work or school? If so, you need an emergency dentist who can see you as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat include sharp or broken teeth, gum swelling, pain, and hypersensitivity. Other frequent issues include soft tissue lesions, such as ulcers under dentures, abscessed teeth, and traumatic injuries. Our team is here to provide prompt and compassionate care when you need it most.
