When your young one has special needs, you have to find them a children’s dentist with whom they feel comfortable. The staff at Kapolei Keiki Dental in Hawaii are pleased to treat special needs children with a unique and dedicated approach that not many other offices offer. Here, they’ve explained why your child needs quality dental care as well as what to expect when you bring your child to them for pediatric dentistry.

Why These Children Need Dental Care

Dental care is the most frequently unmet health concern for children with special needs. This is likely because many pediatric or general dentists don’t have the training or resources to treat children with special needs. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that many pediatric dentists who do treat special needs children will stop treating them once they reach adulthood.
