Children with Special Needs

When caring for children with special needs, our overall approach to children’s dentistry doesn’t change, but the treatment plan may be slightly different to accommodate any issues you may be facing at home; e.g., brushing, flossing, dietary concerns and addressing aversions to food textures and tastes, etc. We are always empathetic to the needs of the caregiver as well as the child and show support in any way we can.

Our doctors empathy and advanced training allows them to read a child’s body language to help even when your child can’t express those feelings themselves. The team at Navarro Dental Center has been trained to help every child remain as calm as possible throughout their visit.

Our office’s treatment rooms are designed to accommodate children with special needs so we can administer care in an environment that’s accessible and comfortable for your child.

By visiting Navarro Dental Center, you can rest assured that your child will be in the care of someone who can understand them and give them the gentle, respectful treatment they deserve.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) can provide cavity protection for up to a year or longer. However, its effectiveness varies based on oral hygiene and follow-up care. To maintain long-term benefits, your dentist may recommend reapplying the treatment periodically. Using a special fluoride toothpaste can further strengthen your teeth and prolong the effects of the treatment.

While Silver Diamine Fluoride effectively halts cavity progression, it does not rebuild the lost tooth structure. In some cases, after application, additional restorative treatments like fillings or crowns may be necessary for full tooth function. To enhance cavity prevention, your dentist may also recommend a special fluoride toothpaste for daily use.

Yes! Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an FDA-approved and widely used safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional cavity treatments in pediatric dentistry. This procedure is quick, painless, and does not require anesthesia or drilling, making it ideal for young patients. Parents can further protect their child’s teeth by using a special fluoride toothpaste to complement the benefits of the SDF treatment.

Not at all! The SDF application is entirely painless and does not require drilling or anesthesia. The process involves simply brushing the solution onto the affected tooth. Patients may experience temporary staining, but there are no severe side effects. To maintain oral health, regular check-ups and the use of a special fluoride toothpaste are recommended.

Absolutely! SDF treatment is an excellent option for adults looking to prevent cavities, reduce tooth sensitivity, and delay invasive dental procedures. It is especially beneficial for those with dental anxiety or medical conditions that make traditional fillings difficult. Your dentist can determine if SDF treatment in Corsicana is right for you. Using a special fluoride toothpaste can further enhance the protective benefits.
