Abstract:
A review of a series of federation reports documents the numbers of youngsters with a variety of special health care needs who are residents in our communities and are dependent upon local dentists for needed services. The increased costs for health care and complexities of access to this care are emphasized. While dental schools have introduced changes in their curricula to improve the preparation of new graduates to provide services for patients with special health care needs, the challenge is to provide current practitioners with programs to ensure the treatment of youngsters (and the not so young) with disabilities.
