Dentistry for People who have Physical or Mental Disabilities . . .
 

Many people have disorders which cause chronic pain. Others have back/joint problems, which make sitting in the dental chair difficult. Some have heart or lung problems, diabetes or other systemic disorders which necessitate careful monitoring during routine dental treatment.

Some require special prophylactic antibiotic coverage before a procedure, such as patients with prosthetic heart valves. Asthmatic patients may need bronchodialator inhalers; cardiac (heart) patients may require careful control of the amount of epinephrine (adrenaline) used.

Severe gaggers or people with reactions to local anesthestics may fall into this category. There are also people who, because of learning disabilities or other handicaps, are not able to provide the cooperation needed by the dentist.

For the apprehensive person, general anesthesia and sedation may be the solution to a problem . . . that of postponing needed dental treatment due to fear.
