Managing oral health in patients with ASD requires a tailored, patient-centered approach due to their unique behavioral, sensory, and communication challenges.
Desensitization through gradual exposure to the dental setup.
•Simple communication using visual aids and clear language.
•Behavioral techniques like Tell-Show-Do and positive reinforcement.
•Sensory adjustments to reduce discomfort.
It’s so important to remember that for ASD patients, dental care needs a truly gentle, tailored approach.
Indeed! It takes adaptability and empathy to manage oral health in patients with ASD.
For them, dental care is easier and more efficient when gradual desensitization, visual communication, behavioral techniques like Tell-Show-Do, and sensory-friendly modifications are used.
Informative and important to a ASD patient.
