Dental treatment of the special children is mostly given at least priority by parents or dentists which is a real pity for society. The term disabled child is often added to their innocent identity only because they are impaired daily activities in some fashion. Thereby these handicapped children can be divided into medically compromised & developmentally disabled children. These children seek our help, so they can establish them self in front of the society well. They are even unaware what is importance of basic oral health care. Despite opening new windows for them may dentists are unwilling to treat them as patients. This may be due to many reasons like lack of knowledge about their symptoms, unfamiliarity with the measures to treat these kinds of children, who took an initiative in the year of 1981 for special children.

Abstract


Dental treatment of the special children is mostly given at least priority by parents or dentists which is a real pity for society. The term disabled child is often added to their innocent identity only because they are impaired daily activities in some fashion. Thereby these handicapped children can be divided into medically compromised & developmentally disabled children. These children seek our help, so they can establish them self in front of the society well. They are even unaware what is importance of basic oral health care. Despite opening new windows for them may dentists are unwilling to treat them as patients. This may be due to many reasons like lack of knowledge about their symptoms, unfamiliarity with the measures to treat these kinds of children, who took an initiative in the year of 1981 for special children.
