The Importance of Dental Care for Disabled Patients
Unfortunately, not all dental professionals have the additional training to handle patients with disabilities or complex medical conditions. This makes it much harder for this group of individuals to get the quality dental care they need. It’s especially important since about 26% of adults in the country have some type of disability, many of which also have poor oral hygiene.
What Conditions Can We Handle?
Our dentists are trained to offer exceptional care for those who may not be able to receive treatment in a traditional dental setting. We are uniquely qualified to care for many patients with disabilities, including those with:
- Autism
