What is Special Needs Dentistry for Children?
Special needs dentistry is an essential aspect of your child's overall health care. Children with special needs often have unique oral health issues that require specialized attention and treatment.

Choosing a dentist like Dr. Okoruwa, who specializes in special needs dentistry, ensures your child receives the best possible care. Our team understands the unique challenges and rewards that come with treating special needs children and are committed to providing a positive dental experience for every child.

This includes preventive care, restorative dentistry, and orthodontics. At Cottage Grove Pediatric Dentistry, we provide a full range of dental services to meet your child's needs.
The Special Needs Dentistry Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
The first step in the special needs dentistry process is an initial consultation. During this visit, Dr. Okoruwa will meet with you and your child to discuss your child's dental needs, medical history, and any behavioral concerns. This meeting allows us to design a personalized treatment plan for your child.
Dental Examination
The next step is a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a thorough cleaning, x-rays (if necessary), and a detailed examination of your child's teeth and gums. Dr. Okoruwa will also discuss any necessary treatments or procedures with you during this visit.
Ongoing Dental Care
The final step is ongoing dental care. Regular dental visits are vital for maintaining your child's oral health. These visits allow Dr. Okoruwa to monitor your child's dental health, catch any potential issues early, and provide necessary treatments. Regular check-ups also help your child become more comfortable with the dentist, reducing anxiety and stress over time.
