Special Health Care Needs in Gallatin
Special Healthcare Needs
Trailhead Pediatric Dentistry is here to care for any child with special healthcare needs. Our team has the training, experience, and—most importantly—the compassion to work with your child to ensure their dental needs are met.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) defines special healthcare needs as “any physical, developmental, mental, sensory, behavioral, cognitive, or emotional impairment or limiting condition that requires medical management, healthcare intervention, and/or use of specialized services or programs.”
The AAPD also reports that about 20% of U.S. children have a special healthcare need. Unfortunately, children with these needs often do not receive the dental treatment they deserve.
Our Commitment to Patients with Special Healthcare Needs
Caring for children with special healthcare needs requires specialized knowledge and training to offer understanding yet effective dental care. We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, we will work with you and your child to learn what methods work best and create a treatment plan that fits their needs.
A Specially Designed Practice
The Trailhead Pediatric Dentistry office was designed with special healthcare needs in mind. For example, we have a sensory room that makes patients feel like they’re camping under the stars. This may be helpful for children with autism spectrum disorder who struggle in a normal office environment. Likewise, we have headphones at every chair so patients can watch our TV screens, minimizing distractions and keeping patients calm during their visit.
Our practice also uses the latest technologies and treatment methods to create a child-friendly environment. And in the event that we need to use tools that might trigger patients or perform a lengthy procedure that can lead to complications, we offer a variety of sedation methods to keep children calm. That way, we can deliver the dental care your child deserves without creating a bad experience at the dentist’s office.
