Children with special needs are at a much higher risk of gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. The most common cause for this issue is the difficulty in practicing normal oral hygiene and making regular appointments. Children with special needs are also more likely to suffer from dental phobia, making it difficult for their parents to take them to the dentist. At Rockstar Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we believe that every child deserves easy and comforting access to high-quality dental care. We specialize in providing Special Needs Dentistry in Washington, DC.

Our Pediatric Dentist in Washington, DC, Dr. Stella, and her team are more than happy to make you and your little one feel relaxed in our dental office. Our team has experience in working with children with all kinds of needs to help create a healthy and beautiful smile.

We understand that some children require more support and encouragement to feel relaxed during dental examinations and treatment.
