Lexy Krause is one of our wonderful special needs patients. She is nonverbal, had a negative experience at another office, and was very frightened about her dental care. We have used IV sedation to treat all of Lexy’s major dental work and she has done very well.
Lexy’s sister, Trista, came to us with anxiety about her dentistry as well. With care and gentleness, she has improved very nicely over the years. We have had to extract some primary teeth and she recently wore a removable retainer to correct a crossbite.
“We have been going to see Ehrenman and Khan for two years. When I discovered that Dr. Glen worked with special needs kids, I knew I wanted him to be our pediatric dentist. The difference between Dr. Glen and other dentists was night and day. Before, Lexy had to be held down and Robin couldn’t do it anymore. We went to Dr. Glen and he said. “Oh no, you’re not going to hold her.” It was amazing. Now she just relaxes and sits in the chair. The biggest thing is Dr. Glen’s patience. Lexy senses that patience even though she can’t speak. She’s never had any pain – the whole procedure was spot on. They told us what was going to happen and that is exactly what did happen. To me, that is very important. Everyone here treats you like family. There is no resistance in going anymore! I wish this could be MY dental practice!”
And Trista Says: “I like going here because I get to see Dr. Glen, my favorite dentist.”
