Special Needs Dentist in Yukon, OK
Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and cared for at the dentist—especially those with physical, developmental, behavioral, or sensory challenges. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in special needs dentistry, offering gentle, compassionate care tailored to each child’s individual abilities. Whether your child has a medical diagnosis, sensory sensitivity, or behavioral condition, our team is trained to provide thoughtful, personalized dentistry for patients with disabilities.
What Is Special Needs Dentistry?
Special needs dentistry refers to dental care designed for individuals who require extra support due to physical, intellectual, or developmental conditions. These may include autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, sensory processing disorder, or medically complex diagnoses. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, our goal is to reduce anxiety, increase comfort, and build long-term trust—one visit at a time.
Led by Dr. Tiana Osbourne, a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist, our practice is equipped to meet the needs of children who benefit from more customized care, communication, and clinical planning.
