Customized Dental Care for Special Needs

When your oral health suffers, it can affect your entire well-being. However, if you have special health needs, it can be difficult to find a dentist that provides adequate care. At the dental practice of Kurt R. Kwiatkowski DDS, SC in Grafton, WI, our staff ensures that you receive customized dental care in a friendly and welcoming environment.

What Is Special Needs Dentistry?

Special needs dentistry refers to the management of oral healthcare for patients with special health needs. While every patient is different, there are several groups of people who require a customized level of care that many dentists are not trained to administer. In addition to undergoing advanced schooling in specialized fields like emergency dentistry and oral surgery, Dr. Kwiatkowski completed rigorous training in the treatment of medically compromised patients.

Who Can Benefit from Special Needs Dentistry?

There are several patient groups that may require special needs dentistry. One such demographic is the elderly. Geriatric patients often have different oral health care needs from adolescents and adults, necessitating customized treatment. Many elderly patients will suffer from age-related dental disorders or abnormalities. Loss of bone density and arthritis can affect the jaw joints and tooth enamel, making it essential to seek out the appropriate resources for the preservation of their oral health.

Patients with certain medical conditions may also require special needs dentistry. If you have a cardiovascular disease like hypertension or a respiratory condition like asthma, it’s imperative that you inform your dentist. Many prescriptions can have dangerous interactions with common dental medications like a local anesthetic, even medications that you may consider extraneous or irrelevant.

Special needs dentistry may also apply to patients with developmental disabilities like cerebral palsy or down syndrome. If you believe you or a loved one could benefit from special needs dentistry, reach out to our office. One of our friendly team members will be more than happy to chat about your treatment options and to answer any questions you may have regarding oral health.
