Dental health is far more than clean teeth — it directly impacts nutrition, comfort, communication, behavior, and overall health. For people with IDD, oral health challenges are common and often under-recognized until they become urgent or painful.

In this IDD Perspectives webinar, Dr. Craig Escudé is joined by Dr. Allen Wong to explore practical, preventative dental strategies that supporters and medical providers can use every day.

This session focuses on recognizing early warning signs, understanding barriers to dental care, and building daily routines that reduce risk and improve long-term outcomes.


What You’ll Learn

Common dental health challenges for people with IDD
How oral pain can present as behavior or functional changes
Preventive strategies supporters can use outside the dental office
When to escalate concerns and advocate for care
Exclusive Attendee Bonus

Who Should Attend

DSPs, nurses, case managers, primary care providers, family supporters, and anyone involved in daily support for people with IDD.
