Special health care needs refer to any physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition that may require services beyond those needed by a typical patient. It is estimated that around 20% of children under the age of 18 have special health care needs. That’s why we tailor every visit to the specific needs of your child, and develop an understanding of what your little one requires to feel calm and comfortable. We work with patients of all different backgrounds who live with a range of special health care needs, and we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service to everyone who walks through our door.
At The Little Royals, we focus on providing all of our patients with customized care and attention, particularly those who may have special health care needs. When you make your first appointment at The Little Royals, we’ll ask if your child qualifies as a SHCN patient, and we may ask for more information about their condition or disability to better understand what special needs they may have. We will develop an individualized treatment plan and process for your child and work with you to accommodate their needs in a friendly, compassionate environment.
We work with all children who qualify as SHCN patients. Our team has years of experience working with patients who have intellectual disabilities, sensory impairment issues like vision and hearing problems, or who suffer from conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, dental anxiety, or physical handicaps. We treat every child as if they were our own, and everyone who walks through our door receives high-quality dental care, regardless of their special needs or medical conditions. To speak more with one of our dentists about our capabilities for treating children with special health care needs, call us at (561) 510-1450. We proudly serve those in Jupiter and Palm Beach Garden.
