The practice’s dental team is specially trained to provide dental care for children with differing needs, utilizing techniques such as behavior management and technologies such as specialized chairs, modified instruments, and sedation dentistry. In addition to helping children feel comfortable and safe during their visit, the doctors also take into careful consideration a child’s medical condition when creating a treatment plan to avoid complications during procedures.
Sedation dentistry works in tandem with special needs dentistry. Hurst Pediatric Dentistry offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), intravenous (IV) sedation, oral conscious sedatives, and general anesthesia for a stress-free dental experience. Sedation helps children with disabilities feel less troubled and overwhelmed when undergoing procedures such as crowns, fillings, root canals, extractions, and cleanings, says the practice.
Sedation is especially beneficial for children with communication difficulties or sensory issues, often found in individuals on the autism spectrum, as it helps to reduce fears and anxieties associated with visits and provides them the opportunity to receive regular checkups and necessary treatments.
With this announcement, Hurst Pediatric Dentistry is committed to providing quality oral care for children with disabilities, allowing for accessible treatments and early identification of dental issues. Through their provisions, they remain dedicated to informing individuals of oral health issues specific to various disabilities while catering to the needs and challenges of these children, thus improving their quality of life.
A satisfied parent said: “My son is severe nonverbal autistic and had to have anesthesia just to even get his teeth looked at. Dr. Hurst was very gentle, paid attention to Noah’s boundaries, and he did a wonderful job. So did Dr. Plagenhoef, the anesthesiologist. They were amazing.”
