Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) presents distinct challenges in everyday life — especially when it comes to dental care. At Richmond VA Dental Arts, we recognize the unique needs of patients with EDS, from jaw joint instability to fragile tissues and heightened sensitivity to both pain and anesthesia. These challenges require a provider who understands the condition beyond just the clinical level.
A Dentist Who Understands
Dr. Faryl Hart does not just treat EDS — she lives with it. Her personal experience gives her an unmatched level of empathy and insight into what patients with EDS go through. Dr. Hart knows the physical discomfort and emotional stress dental visits can bring, and she has made it her mission to change that experience for others.
Her care is tailored, informed and deeply compassionate. She works closely with every patient to anticipate needs, adjust techniques and provide a calming, validating environment. From the first conversation to post-treatment care, Dr. Hart ensures that patients feel respected, informed and in control of their treatment.
Thoughtful Accommodations Rooted in Evidence-Based Dentistry
Our approach combines empathy with precision. We make thoughtful accommodations, including:
- Modified treatment positions to reduce strain and discomfort
- Gentle handling of oral tissues to prevent injury
- Careful selection of materials that reduce trauma
- Extended appointment times for comfort and clarity
- Open communication to foster trust and collaboration
Our goal is to make each visit safe, supportive and as stress-free as possible.
