Dr. Francois has a heart for kids with special needs. He spent an additional two years of dental training specifically working in this field, so he understands their sensitivities and medical behaviors better than a typical dental office.
At Pediatric Smiles Dentistry in Liberty, we require all our dental assistants to go through continuing education and behavior management training to learn the accommodations necessary for kids with special needs. We have the experience and increased awareness to provide the best dental care for children with physical, developmental, cognitive, sensory, behavioral, or emotional needs. We work with you, the parent, to schedule your child for the time of day that is best for your child’s visit.
Dr. Francois makes it a point to have in-depth conversations with you surrounding food textures, eating times and any other aspects of their life that may impact your child’s overall oral health.
Proudly serving the Kansas City Northland communities of Liberty, Pleasant Valley, and North Kansas City, contact Pediatric Smiles today to set up a customized plan for your child.
