Comprehensive dental management of visually impaired children: A brief review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Vision is one of the primary senses that help a child construe his/her environment during the early years of life, the absence of which may have damaging effects on their overall development. Oral health care needs of visually impaired children are often overridden by the focus on their medical rehabilitation. However, with the current understanding of the fundamental role played by dental health in the maintenance of general health of an individual, it becomes all the more important to provide access to dental services whenever mandated. The dental management of visually impaired children is not very different from that of an otherwise healthy child. With certain modifications in the behavior management and therapeutic techniques the necessary treatment can be provided to them with ease. The pediatric dentist plays an unmatched role in implementing their knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive and quality dental care to this proportion of the population.
