How We Treat Children with Autism

We understand a dental visit can cause fear and anxiety in your autistic child. We feel every child with autism deserves to feel safe, secure, healthy and happy and we strive to take away the fear of being at the dentist. Being afraid of the dentist makes it harder on your child and you.
