Special needs dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on providing oral healthcare to individuals with physical, cognitive, developmental, or behavioral disabilities. Individuals with special needs often require more comprehensive and customized care to ensure that they receive the highest quality dental treatment in a safe and comfortable environment. Special needs dentistry may involve adapting dental equipment or techniques to accommodate patients with physical disabilities, such as mobility or sensory impairments. For patients with cognitive or behavioral disabilities, special needs dentistry may involve using calming techniques or sedation to help them relax and feel more comfortable during their dental visit. Additionally, special needs dentists may work closely with other healthcare providers, such as speech therapists or occupational therapists, to provide a comprehensive approach to dental care.
