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 have been taking our kids here for the past 3 years and it’s always been a very pleasant experience. We never worry about them being scared to go the dentist for a check up. Dr. Verma and the entire staff do a great job putting us at ease at all times.

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!!!

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 daughter (9 yo) said: it's the best dentist I almost fell asleep once.
Best recommendation ever :)

Friendly staff from check in to check out and most of all the hygienists and dentist with my little ones. Made them feel so comfortable and not scared at all! Definitely recommend!!
