We would like to emphasize that these patients may experience compromised oral health for various reasons, so special attention must be paid to their personal care, as some types of disability are associated with a higher frequency of oral diseases:
Caries,
Gum disease,
Dental trauma,
Malocclusions,
Dental anomalies,
That is why we insist that prevention in people with disabilities is doubly important:
-On the one hand, because the risk of suffering from oral pathologies is greater than in the general population;
-Because it avoids possible dental treatments, which, if necessary, are usually more complex.
Therefore, it is necessary that they maintain a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.If necessary, with help– and that they visit the dentist regularly.
