Special Needs Present Unique Oral Challenges
Patients with physical and intellectual disabilities deal with unique barriers, some of which can be directly linked to their oral development. For example, children with Down Syndrome can experience delayed tooth eruption or have smaller or missing teeth, while children on the autism spectrum have been shown to be at an increased risk of oral health issues. Our team can keep a look out for any concerns related to your child’s disability or diagnoses and be proactive in keeping their oral health on the right track.
