Dentist for Special Needs Child in Shah Alam, Selangor
Dentist for Special Needs Child
At Klinik Pergigian Alam Impian, we understand that children with special needs require extra attention and care during dental visits. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Navasheilla Retna, specializes in pediatric dentistry, ensuring that every child feels comfortable and secure. With over 10 years of expertise as a special needs pediatric dentist, Dr. Navasheilla is dedicated to creating positive dental experiences for children of all abilities.
Why Choose a Special Needs Dentist?
Visiting the dentist can be overwhelming for any child, but for children with special needs, this experience often comes with unique challenges. A special needs dentist is trained to address these concerns with patience, skill, and empathy.
At our clinic, we focus on:
- Gentle communication techniques to reduce anxiety.
- Customized treatment plans tailored to each child’s needs.
- A safe, sensory-friendly environment to ensure comfort.
Our goal is to help children with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or sensory processing disorders maintain excellent oral health without fear.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Creating a Positive Environment
The first visit is crucial for building trust. We begin by introducing your child to our team and the dental setting. Parents are encouraged to share their child's medical history and any specific triggers or preferences that can help us provide better care.
A Step-by-Step Approach
For children with sensory sensitivities, we use a gradual approach to help them adjust to the dental chair, instruments, and procedures. This method reduces stress and ensures a more enjoyable experience.
Tailored Dental Services for Special Needs Children
Preventive Care
Regular dental check-ups are vital for preventing cavities and gum disease. Our team emphasizes gentle scaling and polishing and provides tips for maintaining oral hygiene at home.
Sedation Dentistry for Special Needs Children
For children who have difficulty staying calm during procedures, we offer safe sedation options. Our techniques include:
- Nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas): A mild and quick-acting sedative for shorter treatments.
Customized Treatment Plans
From tooth fillings to preventive sealants, we design personalized plans to meet the specific dental needs of each child. For children prone to tooth decay, we may recommend fluoride treatments and dietary advice to protect their teeth.
Emergency Dental Care
Accidents happen, and when they do, you can count on us. Our team provides immediate care for dental trauma, ensuring minimal pain and maximum recovery.
Building Oral Hygiene Habits for Children with Special Needs
Tips for Parents
Maintaining good oral hygiene at home is a team effort. Here are some helpful tips:
-
Use sensory-friendly tools: Choose toothbrushes with soft bristles and easy grips
-
Establish a routine: Consistency helps children become familiar with brushing and flossing.
-
Reward good behavior: Use positive reinforcement to make dental care a pleasant experience.

Success Stories from Parents in Shah Alam
This is my first time visiting this clinic, good and detail explanation about our teeth. Procedure for after treatment also given with reference link. Reasonable price for the good service. Keep it up! Thanks Dr Lavinia and the nurses also for flushing my swollen gum and scaling!
The best dental clinic, bring your child to have a tooth extracted, the clinic is about to close at 9pm, but the doctor still treats you like an emergency, the doctor and nurse are really friendly, the child can relax and get a tooth extracted like the best doctor 😀
This is my first time visiting this dental clinic. Dr Nava treated my 9 yo daughter so well & she is happy after the treatment. This dental clinic is so comfortable and kids friendly.
The dentist was very informative, gentle and had empathy for me who was afraid 🤭. Highly recommended. 🥰
Il give a 5star.. explained well before the treatment.Thank you Dr.Thurka.
The doctor and staff are very polite and friendly. My son loves the service
Very clean, bright and nice white-maroon inter deco. The cosy and clean tv area is a welcoming sight for waiting area of patient with companies. The white floor is squeaky clean and the dental room is well lit with the right hue of lights. Friendly reception desk, doctor and assistants. Reasonable cost. Highly recommended.
Staff friendly and Doctor very good. Get ballon for gift. My niece so happy!
Dr Thurka is friendly to kids. Very good handling my son. Thank you very satisfied with the service
Recommended! I was given 2 choice either to have a normal scaling and polishing for rm 100 or to do an aistream polishing which was pricier but less painful. Decided to try out the new tech. It was not painful at all, almost dozed off to sleep. That's how skillful the doctor is.The registration was smooth. Facilities are tip top and comfy. Would come here again for other services.
When I entered, I noticed the clinic was absolutely spotless, and I was immediately welcomed by the staff at the counter. Before the operation, I was informed about briefly treatment would go and throughout the whole operation, I was made to feel comfortable and given reassuring comments by the people performing the treatment. It really helped calmed my nerves during the more painful parts of the treatment.Overall, I 100% recommend this clinic and will be coming back when I need to get my teeth checked again
Amazing treatment by Dr.Thurka. She was very gentle and professional in treating me.The nurses were equally amazing by keeping me calm and relaxed throughout the treatment.
We (myself and my son) recently visited this dental surgery. We are on holiday, visiting our family in Malaysia and required dental care.My son has been suffering with a persistent mucocele for some months. He was attended to by Dr. Sheila, who was very professional, gentle and attentive throughout the process. It resulted in a minor surgery which was done with utmost care, skill and explanation every step of the way. He was at ease throughout the time. 😊I was attended to by Dr. Thurka who did an excellent job of concealing the gaps between my teeth. I’m so pleased with the final result/outlook. She took her time and everything was done with care and explained well which was very reassuring.Overall we had a great dental experience - the place is clean and crisp! The staff are very professional, polite, skilled and the price is competitive. I highly recommend this dental surgery.
Excellent service! I had my dental scaling done here with Dr Navasheila and she was really good and gentle with my teeth. Her assistant was also very polite. Definitely the best dentist in the area.
