Support for parents of children with NDD (neurodevelopmental disorders)

Children with conditions such as autism, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental diagnoses (NDD) may find dental visits stressful and overwhelming.

At Huddinge Pedodonti we have many years of experience working with children who have special needs. Our main goal is to create positive, calm dental experiences – both for your child and for you as a parent.

We understand your challenges

Many parents of neurodivergent children share similar experiences:

Healthcare staff don’t always have the time or knowledge to meet the child’s needs
Dental visits become stressful – sometimes even traumatic
You meet different staff each time, with no continuity
As a parent, you may feel questioned instead of supported

We want to change that.

Our approach – tailored to your child

We follow the principle: care on the child’s terms. That means:

Same staff every time – your child will meet the same dentist or dental nurse at each visit
Calm and adapted environment – we adjust lighting, sounds, pace, and our way of interacting
Clear routines and preparation – before every visit, we create a plan and share it with you, so both you and your child know what to expect
We meet you where you are – if your child feels safest after school, in the car, or in the park, we adapt. We’re happy to come and meet you outside, at the car or entrance.

Step by step – building trust through gentle routines

We use a method called “step-by-step introduction” – a calm and educational approach where the child takes small, safe steps toward dental care. For example:

First visit: just explore the clinic, look around – no treatment
Second visit: play with the tools, maybe brush a tooth – on a model, or maybe even in the mouth
Third visit: a gentle check-up – only if the child is ready

This structured approach helps your child feel safe and understand what will happen – step by step.

For children tired of treatment

Many children with NDD have had difficult experiences with healthcare. Some are tired of medical appointments or don’t want to be treated at all – and we completely understand.

That’s why we focus on building trust, strong relationships, and a predictable experience – without pressure or stress.

What you can expect from us

We see you. We listen to you. You know your child best – and with us, you're part of the team, not just watching from the side.

Would you like your child to have a respectful and stress-free dental experience?
