Call Enchanted Pediatric Smiles today to learn more about our stress-free pediatric sedation options or to schedule a consultation.
At Enchanted Pediatric Smiles, we believe every child deserves exceptional, compassionate dental care — especially those with special health care needs. Our board-certified pediatric dentist and caring team are trained to provide personalized, gentle care for children with developmental, physical, sensory, or behavioral differences.
We understand that every child is unique, and we take the time to make each visit safe, calm, and positive — creating an environment where your child can thrive and build lifelong trust in dental care.
Why should I choose a special needs dentist for my child?
Children with special needs often require a different approach to dental care. Whether your child experiences anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or has specific medical or developmental conditions, our team works with you to design a customized treatment plan that meets their individual needs.
We take extra time to help your child feel comfortable and confident — using gentle communication, visual aids, and a sensory-friendly atmosphere to ensure a smooth experience.
Stress-Free Sedation Options
At Enchanted Pediatric Smiles, we understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes make kids (and parents!) feel anxious. That’s why we offer safe, gentle, and stress-free sedation options designed specifically for children. Our goal is to help every child feel calm, comfortable, and confident during their dental visit — no matter the treatment.
Our board-certified pediatric dentist and experienced team tailor sedation to your child’s needs, ensuring a smooth, positive experience that makes future visits easier and more enjoyable.
Care That Puts Kids at Ease
If fear is keeping you or your little one from scheduling an appointment, we’re delighted to offer nitrous oxide with your child’s treatment! Laughing gas can help them relax during their visit and then resume daily activities with a smile.

Personalized Care Plan
