Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, the dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals to care for and manage the treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This CE webinar will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health, and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
During this CE webinar, we will
- Evaluate barriers to oral care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Identify complex factors related to the oral health of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Explore strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
