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.

The most amazing pediatric dental office. I cannot say enough great things about the entire staff. Their kindness and compassion always shines through. Highly recommend!

My children had an amazing experience at start pediatrics dentist!! It all started when I called to make an appointment for my 3 year old after leaving another dentist office and had a horrible experience. Mindy listen to me vent and was able to get me in THE NEXT DAY! Mindy was amazing and super helpful! My children and I were assisted my Judy. Judy was super friendly and understanding that my child had a horrible experience the day before at a different office. She aloud him to pick his own tv show, the flavor of his tooth paste and cleaned his teeth! Dr. Donohue came in and was super patient with my 3 year old and explained to him she was just counting his teeth. She was very interactive with him!!! Jessica came in and was super patient with him while taking his X-rays! After all of that my 5 year old was upset he wasn’t able to get his teeth cleaned and counted. As I was explaining to him that his brother had the appointment because he was having some pain in his teeth Jessica ran up front to get me the paper work for my other child! This office is amazing. The customer service, the team work that the staff had, the amount of patients they had with both my children was absolutely amazing! I will never take my children anywhere else!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!!!

This office is the best! My daughter asked the assistant (I didn't catch her name but she was great, just like everyone else in the office) if they did birthday parties there! Dr. Verma is very patient with her and always takes the time to explain everything to me which I very much appreciate. Also, Maddie at the front desk is always very kind and so helpful. Highly recommend, wouldn't consider bringing my child anywhere else.

I have been taking my children to Star Pediatrics for many years. The office is immaculate, the support staff is super friendly and accommodating. Dr. Verma and Dr. Donahue are wonderful with my kids. My youngest is on the Autism spectrum and the staff has been so understanding of his special needs.
