Children with special needs deserve gentle, understanding dental care tailored to their unique requirements. At Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont, we provide compassionate, patient-centered treatment that accommodates various developmental, physical, and behavioral needs to ensure every child receives excellent oral healthcare.
Special needs dentistry involves providing dental care for children with physical, developmental, mental, sensory, behavioral, cognitive, or emotional conditions that require specialized approaches. These children may need modifications to standard dental procedures, additional time, or alternative communication methods to receive comfortable, effective treatment.
Dr. Matthew Savage has extensive experience working with children who have autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and other conditions that may affect their dental care experience. We understand that each child is unique, and we adapt our approach to meet individual needs while maintaining the highest standards of oral healthcare.
We work closely with parents and caregivers to understand each child’s specific needs, preferences, and challenges. This collaborative approach helps us develop personalized treatment plans that prioritize comfort and effectiveness.
We provide longer appointment times when needed and work at each child’s pace to ensure they feel comfortable and secure throughout their visit. Rush appointments are avoided to maintain a calm, supportive environment.
Our office is designed to accommodate children with sensory sensitivities, featuring adjustable lighting, quiet spaces, and the ability to modify environmental factors that might cause distress.
We welcome children with a wide range of conditions including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, behavioral challenges, and medical conditions that affect oral health. Our team is trained to recognize signs of distress and implement strategies to help children feel more comfortable during treatment.
Some children may benefit from shorter, more frequent visits to gradually build comfort and trust. Others may need sedation options to receive necessary care safely and comfortably. We evaluate each situation individually to determine the best approach for optimal outcomes.
Dr. Matthew Savage brings extensive experience in pediatric dentistry to Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont. Board-certified and passionate about children's oral health, Dr. Savage believes in building trust with young patients through gentle care and clear communication with both children and parents.
