What this is, in plain language
Hospital dental division treating children age 14 and under who are disabled or have complex medical conditions — including autistic children who need extra behavioural support — with routine cleanings, dental surgery, emergency dental care, and sedation or general anaesthesia when needed. Dentists coordinate with the hospital's other medical and surgical divisions for children with additional health needs.
Getting started
Every patient needs a referral from their own doctor documenting the underlying health condition before an appointment can be booked; once the referral is in, call (832) 822-3200 to schedule.
