Special Needs Present Unique Oral Challenges

In many cases, children with special needs are more susceptible to developing oral health issues due to various reasons. Patients with physical disabilities might find it difficult to brush or floss their teeth in the traditional methods, while others with stimulation problems might dislike the taste, sounds, or texture of oral health products, such as electric toothbrushes. Due to these factors making it challenging to perform basic teeth cleaning, your child can end up with a higher risk of having issues like gum disease and cavities.
