Cerebral Palsy
Positioning adaptations, shorter sessions, and coordination with caregivers.

Other Special Needs
We individualize care for any condition. Contact us to discuss your child's needs.
Sedation Options
We offer a full range of sedation approaches so every patient can receive safe, comfortable dental care.
Nitrous Oxide
Mild sedation ("laughing gas") for anxious patients. Wears off quickly — no recovery time needed.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Medication taken before the appointment. Patient is relaxed but conscious. Ideal for moderate anxiety.
General Anesthesia
For patients requiring multiple procedures or those for whom other sedation is not sufficient. Full monitoring throughout.
All sedation options are evaluated case by case. We discuss the best approach with parents and caregivers before any procedure.
Trusted by Families with Special Needs
“My son has autism and dental visits have always been a nightmare. The team at Dentalist was incredibly patient — they let us take our time, explained everything step by step, and my son was calm throughout. We crossed from San Diego and it was completely worth it.”
