Book Description
Special Care Dentistry is concerned with providing and enabling the delivery of
oral care for people with a physical, sensory, intellectual, mental, medical,
emotional or social impairment or disability. The majority of people with a
disability have disabilities that are mild or moderate and do not require
specialist dental care. Most of them can and should receive dental care in
mainstream primary dental services, but the clinical experience of dental
graduates in the delivery of Special Care Dentistry can be limited. This book
examines the principles related to Special Care Dentistry, and provides the
dental team with knowledge, information and practical tips that will facilitate
its delivery.
