One of the many challenges children on the spectrum face is dental care. It implicates a number of sensory issues, not to mention the behavioral and emotional challenges associated with the “traditional” dental visit.

We want to help autism families find regular dental care and establish good dental hygiene habits and routines.

You’re invited to visit a dental office staffed with dentists, hygienists, and assistants to look, explore, and ask questions (baby teeth, permanent teeth, crowding, diet, drinks, what to do in case of emergency). Preventative dentalcare will also be provided if the child and family so desire.

There are no age requirements for the children who attend but would prefer to have a conversation with each family in advance to discuss your child’s sensitivities, challenges, and needs, and to ensure that care at a dental office is potentially a good fit.

Please contact autism mom and dental hygienist Mironda Engstrom at mironda@msn.com or 612-741-5269 (call or text) to discuss your child and reserve your spot!
