Care for children with special health care needs

Arrangements for children's oral surgery, periodontic (gums) and endodontic (root canal) care are also available. The center aims to develop partnerships with patients, their families and schools to teach children the importance of good oral health care, which is essential for overall health and well-being.

Children's Dental Health

We place high priority on your child's total health care because maintaining good oral health is important to the general health and well-being of your child. . Selecting the Pediatric Dental Center at Yale provides us with the opportunity to educate you on the importance of good oral hygiene in order to keep your child free from dental/oral disease and to intercede with comprehensive restorative care (fillings, crowns, extractions) when your child's dental status is compromised. We focus on prevention, early detection and treatment of dental disease, and keep current on the latest advances in dentistry for children.
