Children with special health care needs or those who require extensive treatment can receive their care at UMass Memorial Medical Center Hahnemann Campus.
Hospital-Based Dentistry in Worcester
Our pediatric dental staff works to give our young patients the best in care and comfort. Our children’s dental services help build trusting relationships between dentist and patient. In order to achieve optimized dental health some children with advanced dental needs or patients with special health care needs may require hospital-based dentistry which is the safest and most effective means for providing that specialized care.
Our pediatric dentists will assess the extent of necessary treatment for your individual child during their visit to our Worcester pediatric dental office. Children with special health care needs, dental phobias or complex dental treatment needs are good candidates for hospital-based treatments.
Treating Dental Anxiety with Hospital Sedation
Dental phobias and anxiety can interfere with traditional in-office care, which makes hospital dentistry an excellent alternative. During our initial exam, we will assess chair-side cooperation and patient comfort and determine if your child is highly anxious, nervous or scared? Would nitrous oxide be effective enough to help them relax during treatment? The dentists at Lahair & Gallagher Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in Worcester will discuss treatment options with the parents to give the patients the quality, trusted dental care that they deserve.
