We are proud to offer dental services for special needs patients. It is important to us that each and every patient feels comfortable coming to the dentist.
The most common anesthetic we use is a local anesthetic. This blocks pain in a specific area of the mouth. We often apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before we give the injection.
Testimonials
We hit the Pediactric Dentist Jackpot when we picked Dr. Verma. He is sent from above! He explains the process to the parents and the children step by step with complete gentleness. His positivity and patience is remarkable and genuine. I can’t say enough good things about this doctor.

We love STAR Pediatric Dentists! My 3 children are patients here and LOVE GOING TO THE DENTIST! Dr. Donohue and Dr. Verma are wonderful! My kids feel comfortable, choose their favorite movie or show to watch while getting a cleaning and always leave with a coin to choose a prize. The hygienists and staff are all so great and friendly as well! I highly recommend this office!

My almost 2 year old just had her first ever dentist appointment at Star Pediatric Dentistry of Manalapan. I was nervous because I expected her to freak out with a stranger so close to her but she did great! The hygienist, whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, was amazing. She was so nice and made my daughter so comfortable. She showed her every tool and let her touch them before they were used. The dentist, Dr. Donahue, was also so nice and great with my daughter. Overall, an unexpectedly awesome first dental experience!!!

1st time at this office & such a great experience my kids normally have fear and the staff were amazing with both of my kids also guided them step by step with everything that needed to be done my kids loved it as well

Definitely hands down the best!!! Such a great vibe when walking in from the friendly team members, definitely love their attitude and energy!
Most people tend to be nervous going to the dentist, especially children! But not mine
These girls definitely know how to brighten up their day and Dr Verma is so patient and gentle. He really takes his time and is the real deal.
