The ‘Sensory Dentistry’ sessions are designed for children who have dental anxiety, have never seen a dentist or have mental health problems, including sensory impairments.
Michaela Robinson, a dental therapist and owner of MCR Dental Services conducted the first session at Daventry Together Dental practice on July 28, 2023.
In a comment to Daventry Express, Michaela said, “It was brilliant. It couldn’t have gone any better. I was able to give the parents advice as well as the children. We had one child that actually cried because he had to leave.”
