Description

Poor oral health can exacerbate the overall health of people with disabilities and heighten the risks for secondary conditions. This session will share the findings regarding the dental care needs of Delawareans with disabilities based on the results of a statewide dental care survey of adults with disabilities and parents of individuals ages 6 to 49 with disabilities. The implications of these results and next steps will be discussed.
