Severe Gag Reflex

There are kids with very sensitive gag reflexes. This can cause issues when it comes time for dental care. Some pediatric dentists won’t even treat children with a severe gag reflex. At Pediatrics on Park, we provide care to children with severe gag reflexes as part of our special needs dentistry services. 

For some kids providing a welcoming environment is all that is needed to alleviate their sensitive gag reflex. This is due to their gagging being a direct result of feeling uncomfortable and anxious. Our compassionate team makes your child feel welcomed as soon as they walk through our doors. 

There are some children whose hypersensitive gag reflex is a physical condition. For these patients, we recommend sedation dentistry options that make their dental care a more comfortable experience. Our severe gag reflex dentists will be able to effectively treat your child without any complications. 

If receiving dental care has been complicated for your little one because of severe gag reflex, Pediatrics on Park has the solution. We’ll be able to care for your child effectively and provide an environment where they can thrive. We proudly serve families in South Plainfield, Edison, Metuchen, Piscataway, Fords, Fanwood, and surrounding New Jersey areas. Contact us to schedule an appointment with dental pediatricians that care.
