Descripción

Oral health is essential to general health and quality of life, and poor oral health can be a known cause of disability. The neuromuscular deficits present in cerebral palsy have a profound impact on dental health in a multitude of ways. These may include modifications to the orofacial region's structure, issues with feeding, challenges with maintaining oral hygiene, and difficulties getting access to dental care for people with cerebral palsy.
