Groovy Special Needs Experience

Specially designed for any child with special needs.

As a parent of a child with special needs, Dr. Singleton recognizes the individualized approach toward each child who may require special attention and care.

We do not characterize your child based upon a medical/ developmental situation, we simply provide the exact same care just in a modified way that best suits yourchild’s needs.

Dr. Singleton is very experienced (limited to pediatric care since ’02) and a board-certified pediatric dentist- he thoroughly enjoys working with all children.

Parents!

Enjoy some down time while we enjoy building rapport and a trusting relationship with your child! Our office is a hot spot, offering you free wifi. Catch up on your email or enjoy many of our great reading materials.

One of our goals is to build a long-lasting relationship based on trust with your child.

Often this is best achieved in the same manner as a teacher, tutor, or coach, by providing a one on one experience.

But you’re curious… what goes on back there?  For the initial visit, we welcome the opportunity to have you present throughout your child’s appointment. You play an integral role in your child’s oral health, therefore, at subsequent appointments our staff will invite you back to the exam area to discuss any relevant information regarding your child toward the end of his/her appointment.

In preparation for your child’s visit to the Groovy Molar, it is best to talk positively regarding his/her appointment.

We are strong believers in the concept that there is no better dental care for children than from certified pediatric dentists. Interestingly, while many dentists say they treat kids, most do not receive formal training to treat children. Even fewer are certified pediatric dentists. Certified pediatric dentists are intensively trained for years to provide comprehensive, preventative, and restorative dental care specially designed for infants, toddlers, teenagers, and special needs.

Parents tell us that our exceptionally service-oriented approach, combined with our specialized clinical training, makes a big difference — it often allows for the kids to feel safer and more at ease, which often makes the experience and treatment more successful.

We would love to meet you and your children and look forward to welcoming you to our practice!

Sincerely,

Brad Singleton, DDS and Team Groovy Molar
