Most special children also have special dental needs. We’ve found that children with special needs may be more susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease, and oral trauma. Some may require medications or diets that are essential for their dental health. Luckily, dental disease can be prevented! So, by starting early and staying consistent, all children can enjoy a healthy smile.
