Article Description

The document discusses a partnership involving Special Olympics, organized dentistry, the community, and two dental schools to address the oral health disparities faced by individuals with special needs, particularly those with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). It highlights the challenges these individuals face in accessing appropriate dental care due to a lack of specialized resources and providers. The partnership's efforts include providing free dental services through events like the one held on June 10, 2023, where dental students and professionals offered comprehensive care to underserved populations. Despite these efforts, the document emphasizes the ongoing need for systemic changes to improve access to dental care for marginalized groups.
