What is Special Needs Dentistry?

ROANOKE, Texas - Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- At Dentistry of Bethesda, we strive to provide quality, comprehensive dental care for all patients. For some, development issues make undergoing even the most routine dental procedures difficult. With special needs dentistry (http://www.dentistryofbethesda.com/dental-services/special-needs-dentistry-bethesda-md.php), we can provide treatment for patients with physical and development challenges.  Bethesda MD dentist (http://www.dentistryofbethesda.com), Dr. Spencer Hornstein, discusses our approach to providing special needs dentistry.
