Multi-Disciplinary Considerations in Successful Dental Visits [Collaboration Track] becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside joint consultation, shared care planning, school-team communication, and interdisciplinary handoffs. In Multi-Disciplinary Considerations in Successful Dental Visits [Collaboration Track], for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Successfully completing dental visits can be a significant challenge to special patient populations such as individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities. Routine dental exams, dental hygiene and preventative maintenance, and more in-depth dental procedures all need to be done at some points in a person's life and can be scary or anxiety-producing. For these reasons, despite dental care being necessary for health and wellness, individuals may learn behavior which disrupts, delays, or ends dental visits. Collaboration with dental professionals can create the best environment in which special patient populations can receive needed dental care in a less restrictive setting. In this panel, we will discuss what a successful collaboration process can look like. We will review the skills taught to target populations (both patients and dental hygienists), and what we can learn about the dental field to better support the collaboration process.
