Special Care Dentistry: Geriatrics and People with ILDD

1.0 credits

Older adults who have medical, physical, and mental health problems and people with intellectual, learning, and developmental disabilities may need special care when they have dental treatment. The population of these special? patients is growing and they, like all of us, are retaining their teeth longer. This course, utilizing a seminar format, will include presentations, discussion, and case presentations about the nature of these problems and disabilities and how they can be addressed in modern dental practices.
