Children and adults with special needs are more likely to have untreated oral health issues, compared to the general population.
If fear is keeping you or your little one from scheduling an appointment, we’re delighted to offer FREE nitrous oxide with your child’s treatment! Laughing gas can help them relax during their visit and then resume daily activities with a smile.

To begin the process, you will meet with Dr. Marion to discuss your child’s special needs, health history, and oral health issues. You’ll also get a tour of our office, and learn more about how we care for kids with special needs. Our goal at The Spot for Smiles is to keep you and your child comfortable through every step of the treatment process.
At your child’s next appointment, our team will gently clean their teeth, and Dr. Marion will perform an oral exam, complete with x-rays. Your child can be sedated during their appointment to keep them comfortable, if necessary.
Based on the results of your child’s oral exam, Dr. Marion will discuss any necessary treatments with you. We work with you to create a plan that will keep your child’s mouth healthy, but also fits your schedule and your budget.
