Your special need dentist in Barcelona
At our clinic, we focus on providing quality, comprehensive dental care to all people, regardless of disability.
We know that many times, finding a dentist who can accommodate each patient's special needs can be difficult, but we are here to help.
What is considered special need?
When we talk about patients with special needs, we refer to those patients who have specific medical conditions that require specialised dental care. This may be due to an illness, medical condition or ongoing treatment.
In our dental clinic we have a highly trained team to treat patients with various disabilities, whether it be autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis
or other physical, sensory or mental disabilities.
We understand the importance of providing specialised and personalised dental care for each patient, adapting to their individual needs. That is why our team is constantly updated and trained
to be able to offer the best care to all our patients with special needs.
We are committed to inclusion and respect for diversity, which is why we make sure to create a welcoming and friendly environment in our clinic so that all our patients feel comfortable and safe.
Dentistry for all : frequently asked questions
What does the dentist need to know?
It is important for the dentist to have access to the patient's complete medical history, including any medications the patient is taking, whether inhalers or medications prescribed by the general practitioner or specialist. The dentist should also know the names of the doctors who have treated the patient, as well as any allergies or recent surgeries. In addition, it is very helpful for the dental team to know the patient's concerns and anxieties in order to provide more personalised and comforting care. In some cases, parents or caregivers can provide this information, although some patients prefer to speak directly with the dentist. On the other hand, some patients may require additional special needs, such as the presence of an interpreter or translator, or even the assistance of a guide dog. In our dental clinic, we are prepared to work in these circumstances and offer appropriate and personalised dental care to each of our patients.
Is sedation available at the dental clinic?
Yes, we offer sedation options for nervous patients. Intravenous sedation is an effective technique that helps to relax and calm the patient during dental treatment. The dentist and patient can continue to communicate during the procedure. However, eligibility for this type of sedation depends on several factors such as the patient's age, weight and health, among others. In our dental clinic, we discuss these aspects with the patient beforehand and provide all the necessary information.
Can treatment be done at home?
We offer home visits for people who are housebound or have difficulty coming to the clinic (sometimes referred to as "home" visits). However, treatment options are limited outside of the clinic, so please contact us to get more information and make an appointment!
