If your child is receiving speech, swallowing, or occupational physical therapy, it’s important to communicate this information to your pediatric dentist. These therapies can have an impact on your child’s oral health and may influence the approach to dental care. For example, some children may have heightened sensitivities in their mouth due to these therapies, which could affect their comfort during dental procedures. Additionally, certain therapies may involve exercises or techniques that could impact the teeth, jaw, or other oral structures. Your pediatric dentist can work closely with your child’s therapists to understand their needs and adjust their dental care plan accordingly. This collaborative approach ensures that your child’s oral health supports their overall well-being and therapy goals. Remember, every child is unique and their dental care should be too. It’s always best to have open communication with all healthcare providers involved in your child’s care.
