— American River Dental
Dental Care with a focus on specific needs
American River Dental provides dental care for people with complex medical conditions and developmental or physical disabilities, including people with autism. We understand that some patients may need changes to a typical dental visit.
According to the American Dental Association, a patient’s physical, medical, developmental, or cognitive needs may require additional consideration during dental treatment. Every person is different, so care should begin with understanding the individual—not making assumptions based on a diagnosis.
