Pediatric dentists are a good option for children because they are skilled at calming children’s anxieties about dental checkups and 
appointments. This is especially true of pediatric dentists who specialize in treating children with special needs, such as those with autism or Down Syndrome. These dentists understand how to accommodate patients with special needs. At South Miami Pediatric Dental Associates, Dr. Mark Webman, Dr. Mario Martinez and Dr. Rebecca Lenard are your special needs dentists in South Miami, FL.
Special Needs Conditions
Dentists without experience treating patients with special needs might be unfamiliar with how to accommodate such patients, which makes their cases more challenging. For instance, the dentist might need to spend more time with patients who have special needs versus patients who do not. A special needs dentist is comfortable accommodating the unique needs and challenges associated with caring for patients with special needs while also providing much needed dental care. Conditions special needs dentists can accommodate include:
- Autism and related conditions
- Down Syndrome
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Cerebral Palsy
- Epilepsy
- Asthma
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Developmental Disabilities
