Autism Spectrum Disorder: Essentials for a Dental Expert
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Unique is a method that could help diagnosing a psychiatry condition, such as autism, by properly completing a patient's clinical history, with a comprehensive physical examination. It is important to diagnose individuals with autism spectrum, since providing a good oral health care to these people requires that the dentist has specialized knowledge, an increased awareness and care while performing the treatment, and even patient support strategies which must be adapted to each case. Every patient with autism is different to the rest, which makes their diagnosis and treatment difficult. Likewise, not all dentists are qualified to provide a good oral health care to patients diagnosed with autism spectrum, so many families must fight with that barrier every day. Finally, not every person with autism, or their families, are able to afford the cost of dental care with a qualified dentist, which is an important concern for them.
