Akron has three dental options that describe real special-needs care - a practice with a sensory-friendly autism approach, a special-needs-trained pediatric office, and Akron Children's Hospital's dental clinic. This page explains what autism-friendly dentistry means, names local options, and covers how sedation and Ohio coverage work.
Pediatric practice at 3094 W. Market St., Suite 260, whose dentist has training to care for children with special healthcare needs, behavioral disorders, and mental or physical disabilities.
Practice at 881 E. Exchange St. describing a sensory-friendly environment for children with autism: desensitization, visual aids, tell-show-do, dimmed overhead lights, and sedation for children who cannot stay still.
Akron Children's Hospital clinic at 177 West Exchange Street providing preventive and treatment dental care for children up to age 14, including those with special healthcare needs.
