Cool article from the NYTimes about N.Y.U. College of Dentistry’s new Oral Health Center for People With Disabilities.

So many of our kiddos deal with oral hygiene issues for so many reasons. I know we worry about tooth decay due to the high sugar content in Pediasure. Some kids are biters (or screamers or kickers or punchers…) because they don’t understand what’s happening, and dental providers are afraid to treat them. Some wheelchairs don’t fit into traditional dentist office spaces. It’s nice to know NYU is addressing some of these issues, and NYU treats 10% of dentists in the country, so hopefully the trickle down effect is felt far & wide.
