Oral Health for Preschoolers with Special Needs

​Summary

Dental problems cause a great deal of pain to young children and treatment can be very stressful, so it is very important to avoid or limit dental treatment for children with additional care needs by keeping teeth healthy. Fortunately, most dental diseases are preventable.

This booklet gives parents and carers some simple, practical advice on how to keep children’s mouths looking and feeling great. This includes specific advice about diet and tooth brushing for children with additional care needs.
