Special Needs Patient Care

Dr. Richards has found that many patients with special needs have unique dental care needs that require a flexible approach. Certain patients might have medication or dietary needs that can compromise their dental health. Other patients have difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene habits. We understand that some might find it difficult to sit still for a dental examination.

In some cases, special needs patients have a higher risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, tartar buildup, and oral trauma.

Our team is here for you and your loved one. With years of experience, we will personalize care and treatment to meet their needs. Our gentle, compassionate manner of care will ensure your loved one’s dental health is in good hands with our team.
