Special Needs Dentistry

At Kensington Family Dentistry, we always go the extra mile for our patients with special needs! Dentistry can be overwhelming for anyone, and we know it can be even more difficult for those with developmental, sensory, and communication challenges. That is why Dr. Jess and her team work hard to build a relationship with each of their patients—no matter what it takes! Our team welcomes patients with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, as well as those with anxiety, sensory, emotional, and behavioral challenges. We will meet you where you are and move at your speed so that you can get the care you deserve!

Dr. Jess has over 15 years of experience working with individuals with special needs. Her love of caring for people with disabilities began in the Special Care Clinic at the University of Maryland, and it continues to grow through her professional memberships in the Special Care Dentistry Association and the American Academy of Developmental Medicine & Dentistry. Through these membership groups, Dr. Jess is able to collaborate with dental and medical professionals across the country and learn from the leaders in the field! Dr. Jess is currently working to become a Fellow through the Special Care Dentistry Association, and she is delighted to bring her knowledge and experience to her favorite patients!
