The Characteristics of a Developmental Disability Can Compound Oral Hygiene Problems . . . The cognitive, behavioral, physical, and/or communication challenges experienced by many individuals with developmental disabilities affect their ability to practice good oral hygiene and to receive dental treatment.
Without good oral hygiene, germs can reach levels that might lead to infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Also, certain medicines can lower the flow of spit, called saliva. Those medicines include decongestants, antihistamines, painkillers, water pills and antidepressants.
The most common barriers are physical accessibility of dental facilities (for individuals with special healthcare needs), affordability, and lack of skills and knowledge of dental care providers.
Why is oral health a problem? People with disability are at a higher risk of poor oral health because over their lifetime they are more likely to have experienced poor nutrition, poor dental hygiene and lack of access to oral health care services.
Improving Your Dental Health is Never out of Reach. If you havent been to the dentist in a while or have been neglecting your dental hygiene, we want to reassure you that it isnt too late to get back on track and prioritize your dental health.
