Little Hearts Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized pediatric dental office in Portland that is dedicated to supporting children with autism, sensory processing disorder, and special needs. The office offers specialized quiet exam rooms that are physically separated from busier areas of the clinic to ensure a calm, distraction-free environment.
The dental professionals utilize ‘tell-show-do’ methods and positive reinforcement to build trust and minimize dental anxiety. The clinic provides noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses to block bright exam lights, and fidget tools to help children remain calm and comfortable during cleanings and examinations.
Parents are highly encouraged to schedule a pre-visit tour of the clinic before the child’s actual cleaning appointment, helping the child become familiar with the space and the staff. Mentioning sensory accommodations when booking ensures the clinic reserves a quiet exam room and schedules extra time to proceed at your child’s pace.
You can schedule a pre-visit tour so your child can meet the staff and see the office before their actual cleaning appointment. Mention sensory needs when booking so they can allocate a quiet room.
