What does sensory-friendly children's dentistry involve?

A sensory-friendly dentist can help make your child's visit less overwhelming. Some methods include dimming lights to avoid discomfort from bright lights, using air purifiers and headphones to block out loud sounds, and using scent-free dental products to avoid potential triggers from strong or unfamiliar smells and tastes. As long as you let the office know about your child's sensory issues before their appointment, the office can make accommodations to keep your child comfortable.
