Special Needs Dentistry in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
Some children need more time, fewer surprises and a team that doesn't rush them, and that's exactly the kind of visit we're set up for. Parents of autistic children tell us that our assistants stayed calm and patient across several visits until X-rays that had never been possible before finally happened.
- Longer appointments booked when your child needs them
- Desensitising visits, where nothing clinical has to happen
- Tell-show-do at your child's pace, with breaks whenever needed
- Quieter times of day arranged where we can
- Tell us what works for your child and we'll follow your lead
Common questions
My child won't sit in the chair. Is it still worth coming?
Absolutely. The first visit may just be walking in, meeting us and sitting in the chair with nothing happening. Building that familiarity is real progress, and it's how most of our success stories start.
Can we come at a quieter time?
Tell our front desk when you book. We'll do our best to schedule around the busiest parts of the day so the waiting room is calmer for your child.
How should I prepare my child at home?
Let us know what helps, whether that's a social story, a favourite toy, headphones or a specific word to signal a break. We'll build the visit around whatever already works for your family.
