Vardavard Charity Surgery Center
Specialized dental services for autistic children (Established in 1993 Registration number 40330)
Vardavard Charity Surgical Center, which provides specialized dental services for autistic children, was established in 1993 by a few motivated benefactors with the intention of serving the deprived segments of the community. This center is considered the only specialized center in the country and is unparalleled in Middle East in terms of the services it provides.
The founders have been working continuously to provide the necessary dental equipments and materials for the center. They have also recruited a number of well committed and skilled dentists (general and specialists) that are mostly volunteering for free at this center. The team is consisting of 15 to 30 full time and 150 part time doctors and many other staffs. Creating an island of dental care and support for most needed patients is what everybody is striving here for.
The absence of professional dental centers and dental ucares for autistic children and special needs patients has afflicted tremendous pain and distress for many families particularly those from lower socioeconomic classes.
Establishing specialized dental centers to address and provide for the disabled kids and their families the much needed services and equipments such as operating rooms with general anesthesia capabilities and skilled staffs is among our top priorities and responsibilities.
1- Dental restorations
2- Gum surgery
3- Maxillofacial surgery
4- Dental cleaning
5- Root canal treatment
6- Oral and dental health education
7- Various types of imaging and radiology
8- crowns and composites
9- periodic check-ups every six months for all patients
First step is make a physical visit to our admission department for primary assessments of the nature and scope of dental concerns. Then patients will be referred accordingly to either:
1-General clinics to diagnose and treat the simple treatments without need for general anesthesia
2-Specialty clinics for diagnosis and treatment of the more complicated issues. Necessary X-ray and tests will be performed at this time and patients will be admitted for surgery under general anesthesia and recovery time after procedures.
3-Two guest houses have been prepared next to the charity for the free accomodation of patients from other cities.
It’s been more than 30 years since this clinic has been planned and established and mostly financed by our charitable and philanthropist founders.
Our unique and well operated center has helped tens of thousands of kids and families in those years but currently, being the only one, we are facing a flood of patients from all over the country. The magnitude of the patients and their needs have
posed a significant challenge to the center lately. Providing services to these dear individuals requires a collective effort from all sectors of society. Undoubtedly at this period of hardship, assisting and supporting the people who need it the most and to the best of our abilities not only bring relief and comfort to them but also improves our own well-being and strengthens our bonds, self-esteems and happiness.
