Oral health considerations of children with Cerebral palsy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Children with cerebral palsy have a considerably higher prevalence of oral diseases as compared to otherwise healthy children because of the lack of oral health knowledge, access to care, and preventive measures such as fluoride supplements and pit and fissure sealants. Oral health is increasingly recognized as a foundation for general health, wellness, and a primary indicator for the success of dental treatment. The caregivers for special needs children must be knowledgeable and competent in home oral health practice. The role of the pediatric dentist is to improve oral health wellness and to encourage parents and caregivers for good home oral health practice. The most important aspect for successful treatment in children with CP is attitude and skills of dentist and dental team. Home oral health practice is a significant factor in general health, dental care, quality of life, and controlling health care costs.
