From Overwhelm to Comfort: Creating Sensory-Friendly Dental Environments
Presenter: Jeannette Diaz-Olivera, DHSc, MPH, RDHAP, FADHA
Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment.
This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.
