Russell W. Reddell, D.D.S

Dr. Russell W. Reddell is a TTU Alumni and a Baylor College of Dentistry graduate. He has practiced in private, corporate, and community sectors and the state of Texas. For the past eight years, Dr. Reddell has worked for Lubbock Supported Living Center (Individuals with Special Needs). When he began this journey, his oldest was diagnosed with Autism.  That being said, Dr. Reddell and his family became very blessed to be surround by individuals that could and would help them through the tough transition. After a few years,  Dr. Reddell was promoted to State Dental Director.  This promotion gave him the responsibility of all thirteen Supported Living Centers in Texas. Shortly after this promotion, Dr. Reddell wrote new policies and procedures to be implemented throughout the state. One of the most life changing procedures was implementing the practice of  anesthesia.  Of course, this change did not go over well at first. Other dentist continued to use physical restraint.  However, Dr. Reddell continued to prove how anesthesia is best for Individuals with Special Needs.  As more individuals have been placed in the community and the need has grown, Dr. Reddell has decided to bring his knowledge and skill to the community. Dr. Reddell and his team hope you enjoy your experience at Special Needs Dentistry of  West Texas.

Our Practice

 

“Special needs dentistry, also known as special care dentistry, is a specialty of dentistry concerned with the oral health of people who have intellectual disability, or who are affected by other medical, physical, or psychiatric issues.

Patients who require special needs dentistry form a diverse group, and may be found living at home, in hospital, in secure units, in residential or nursing homes. Their additional needs may be due directly to their impairment or disability, or to some aspect of their medical history that affects their oral health, or because their social, environmental or cultural context disables them with reference to their oral health.”   From Wikipedia
