Kids Tooth Team aims to deliver high-quality dental care tailored to each child. Our team specializes in treating patients with special needs. We provide compassionate care so that every child receives the individualized treatment they require from our experienced pediatric dentists. Our South Austin office location allows us to conveniently serve families in the area.
Special needs dentistry involves treating children with cognitive or physical disabilities that can make routine dental care challenging. For instance, sights and sounds may cause anxiety for kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or sensory issues. It also encompasses accommodating developmental, cardiac, respiratory, and sensory processing disorders.
We take necessary precautions to ensure children with complex medical needs feel completely at ease and safe under our care. Special needs dentistry allows us to adapt our approach and environment to best serve each child’s unique needs.
Our South Austin pediatric dentists create customized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our team consults with parents and guardians to discuss specific situations and steps to help their child feel comfortable. We greatly appreciate receiving medical histories online beforehand so we can prepare accommodations in advance. Since each child has individual needs, we rely on families to inform us of their likes, dislikes and recommendations to create an ideal environment. We also have office tour videos to show children what to expect, allowing them to see everything before their visit. Accommodating special needs requires collaboration, so please share any preferences or concerns.
Not sure what to expect if you come to our office for special needs dentistry? Here’s an overview of the treatment process:
We begin with a consultation between you, your child, and the dentist to discuss your child’s needs, medical history and other relevant information. We also offer teledentistry consultations if it's difficult for you or your child to come into the office. We're happy to accommodate any way we can!
Next, we create a tailored treatment plan outlining the steps we'll take to ensure your child feels comfortable and safe. For sensory issues, we might minimize lights or sounds, provide headphones or play a favorite movie. We accommodate all special needs.
Once everything is prepared per the treatment plan, our dentists provide the necessary care for healthy smiles. Regular visits will help maintain dental health while further acclimating your child to our office. More frequent cleanings may benefit some children, too.
Our extensive experience and specialty training in caring for special needs children sets us apart. Dr. Alex completed two residencies focused on these patients. Our entire team loves learning each child’s uniqueness to create customized treatment plans suiting their needs.
Unlike typical pediatric practices, we offer in-person or video consultations with our dentists before treatment to deliver truly tailored special needs care.
Our kid-friendly office uses the latest tools and technology for remarkable care. We provide a range of sedation choices. plus drill-less, micro-invasive techniques perfectly suited for special needs.
Proudly serving patients in Buda, South Austin, Kyle, Manchaca and the surrounding communities.
