Patients with autism spectrum and related neurodevelopmental disorders often experience heightened sensory sensitivity, anxiety, and difficulty with unfamiliar environments.
The Calm Chair MethodTM is designed to meet these needs through predictability, patience, and personalised dental care.
Appointments are structured, unhurried, and adapted to each child’s communication and sensory profile, reducing fear and overload.
Prevention is a central focus. Emphasis is placed on early dental visits, visual familiarisation, desensitisation visits, and parent-guided home care routines to minimise the need for invasive treatments.
Regular biannual or four monthy check ups, Oral prophylaxis and Flouride application, functional updated dental information prove to be helpful as proactive preventive step.
The clinical environment is kept low-stimulus, with controlled lighting, sounds, and gentle interactions.
When treatment is required, happy gas (nitrous oxide sedation) is used safely and effectively to reduce anxiety while allowing the child to remain conscious and cooperative. It offers rapid onset, quick recovery, and an excellent safety profile.
Through collaboration with parents, therapists, and medical teams, the Calm Chair philosophy creates positive dental experiences that support long-term oral health, trust, and confidence.
