What a Sensory Room Looks Like Here
At Pure Hearts Pediatric Dentistry, we offer a Sensory Adapted Dental Environment (SADE) to create a calm and soothing experience for children during their appointments. This room helps reduce overwhelming sights, sounds, and stimulation, allowing little ones to feel safe and relaxed throughout their visit. It’s especially helpful for children on the autism spectrum, those with sensory processing challenges, or kids who feel anxious about dental care. Although it’s thoughtfully designed with sensory-sensitive patients in mind, it’s open for all children to enjoy—including neurotypical patients who simply appreciate a more comforting, low-stress space.
A Space Built for Your Child’s Comfort
From the colors on the wall to the tools we use, every aspect of our sensory dental room is thoughtfully chosen to help your child feel safe and regulated. We know that sounds, lights, and unexpected sensations can feel intense for some children — so we built an environment that reduces stress and increases comfort.
Here’s what sets our sensory-friendly environment apart:
- Soft, adjustable lighting to reduce visual overwhelm
- Cozy seating and calm corners for regulation and grounding
- Fiber-optic strands and bubble lights that invite calm exploration
- Noise-reducing headphones for sound sensitivity
- Flexible movement tools like LED cubes and tactile panels
- Child-friendly, low-pressure transitions throughout the visit
This isn’t distraction — it’s intentional design that helps your child’s nervous system settle before care even begins.
This isn’t dentistry that tries to “get it over with.” This is a new model of care—gentle, adaptive, and rooted in for your child’s whole self.
Because at Pure Hearts Pediatric Dentistry, We Don’t Just Treat Teeth— We Care for the Whole Child.
