At Macarthur Paediatric Dentistry, we recognise that every child is unique, and some may require specialised care. All of our specialist paediatric dentists are highly trained and experienced in providing compassionate dental treatment tailored for medically-compromised children and those with special needs.

Whether your child has sensory or motor impairments, developmental disabilities, dental phobia, or anxiety, we are equipped to ensure a comfortable and positive dental experience.

As specialists in this area, we recognise that children with special needs require extra care, support, and attention, and we will work with you to create a tailored management plan for your child’s needs.

Comprehensive Services & Gentle Approach

From examinations to more complex procedures, our comprehensive dental services for children with special needs encompass a wide range of treatments, including:

• A Sensory-Friendly Environment: We strive to create a calm, sensory-friendly atmosphere to help children feel relaxed and at ease during their dental visits.

• Behaviour Management Techniques: Our team are trained in various behaviour management techniques, including positive reinforcement and desensitisation, to help children with special needs feel comfortable and at ease during treatment.

• Sedation and General Anaesthetic Options: For children who may require additional assistance in managing anxiety or discomfort, we offer sedation (happy gas) or general anaesthetic (sleep dentistry) to ensure a stress-free experience.

• Collaboration with Other Specialists: In cases where specialised care is needed, we work closely with other healthcare professionals, including paediatricians, orthodontists and ENT specialists to ensure your child receives comprehensive, coordinated care.
