Miller Pediatric Dentistry Guarantees a Happy Visit

 

For kids with unique mental or physical challenges, Miller PDO offers professional and compassionate special needs dentistry so every oral health visit can be successful and happy.

For children who have unique challenges, a dentist visit can mean a meltdown. Imagine the stress that these kids may feel—unpredictability in a new setting, uniformed workers, strange-looking equipment, invasion of personal space, the sound of a drill or the glare of bright lights. For young people with mental or physical challenges, the entire experience can be filled with anxiety. Parents sometimes give up, thinking that the visit may not be worth the stress. They don’t know who to turn to for reputable and compassionate special needs dentistry. So they cancel or delay their appointment, or they don’t even bother making one. An estimated 20% of kids with these conditions don’t have an oral health care provider at all. The result can be detrimental. Oral health suffers and, eventually, complicated tooth issues can develop. But it doesn’t have to be this way. At Miller Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, our staff is trained in dealing with these tough situations, so we know exactly how to interact with and treat children with cognitive, emotional or physical challenges. We help you and your child prepare for the visit and work with parents to learn about the children before we meet them. We book these appointments on less busy days, and we make sure your kids are comfortable. In a pleasant, friendly and compassionate environment, we guarantee a happy visit and a beautiful, healthy smile.

Another area of our expertise is restorative dentistry. From tooth-colored fillings to dental crowns and pulpotomies we can take a little grin that requires some help and rejuvenate it, so the end-result is a gorgeous smile and healthy, strong teeth. Our tooth-colored fillings treat and disguise the holes those ‘sugar bugs’ may have left behind and prevent future decay. Our dental crowns—in both silver and white—provide a strong ‘hat’ on top of the tooth. If touching a tooth causes your child to yelp in pain, or if the soft tissue around a tooth is inflamed, then severe decay might have harmed the inner portion, or pulp, of your little one’s tooth. But don’t despair; we are pediatric dental experts and are here to handle any dental problem your child may encounter. Contact Miller Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics and trust the trained doctors and staff to make your children’s next visit a success.
