​My name is Tyler Beinlich and I’m a pediatric dentist at Kidds Pediatric Dentistry in Hudson and
New Richmond. I was raised in Hudson and upon finishing my pediatric residency in Buffalo,
New York, I reached out to the established pediatric dental clinic here and I’ve been on board
ever since.
My personality is definitely suited for working in pediatrics and making connections with the
kids of this area is so special after having been raised here myself. My philosophy is very
focused on prevention and on the experience that kids have at the dentist. Early exposure can
really help foster the relationship and help kids gain confidence in new situations, whether or
not they are on the autism spectrum.
When seeing a new family, it’s important to realize how collaborative this experience should be,
especially with children on the autism spectrum. Every child is a completely new person to
know and understand. They each have different things that work and things that don’t work.
That’s the attitude I take into my appointments and it’s also why having the parents share their
experiences, routines, and successes are often integral. Things like comfort objects from home
can be as helpful as using a weighted blanket for some children, or even knowing ahead of
time that bright lights or certain noises can be a challenge.
Looking at the whole picture, the different routes we go with treatment are informed by
treatment plan, the child’s comfort at the dentist, tolerance of new situations or feelings,
among other things. The most important thing is that we establish a road map for what fits that
child individually. Detours can and will happen but with a solid plan we have confidence that
we can get to our destination.Experimenting with different times of day can be very helpful.
Using things like headphones or a soft pad for the chair can also lead to increased confidence.
Our goal is to create an environment in which children can grow their understanding of what it
means to go to the dentist. That allows us to care for their oral and total health in the best way
possible
