You should pose this question to the office staff of the dentist you are scheduled to see.

You are going to the right place it sounds like. If your dentist cant handle it he will refer you.

Some Dentists are comfortable working in a limited space environment. Others not so much. Often Pediatric Dental specialists are called upon to treat adults with anomalously small mouths. Call theDentist's office well before your appointment to discuss your concerns. Also, if you have a malocclusion (bad bite such as crowded teeth) you should ask the Dentist for referral to an orthodontist.
