The Autism Dental Center for Children is the leading provider of dental care to children with autism in Las Vegas, Nevada. Providing dental care for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a challenge for parents and dental professionals alike. When at the dentist, a child with autism needs to be calmed through repetitive familiarization. Rewards, often mistakenly referred to as "bribes", work well for children with autism: this is contrary to typical behaviour management techniques. If the "usual" techniques are applied to a child with autism, the dental visit will most likely be a failure.

Parents of children with autism are often overwhelmed. The thought of adding dental visits to your child's routine is probably close to the bottom of your list of things to do. Early dental visits for children with autism are extremely important, however, because delay reduces the chances of successful integration into the dental environment.

As the parent, you know what your child responds best to. Getting your child with autism to be able to cope with routine dental visits is the ultimate goal at our center. Our philosophy is that every child with autism must be given the opporturnity to receive routine dental recare visits without the use of drugs or restraints. We have parents who bring their children to Las Vegas from as far away as Alaska and New York because of our refreshing approach to autism dental care.

Please take the time to view the autism resources available through this website. If your child is diagnosed with autism, early intervention is critical to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies.
