People can be born with disabilities. Others acquire them through disease, trauma, or with age. Often, people with cognitive, developmental, or physical disabilities have trouble finding a dental team willing and able to meet their needs. At Penn Dental Medicine, we believe the solution is building confidence and competence in managing the needs of individuals with disabilities from the very beginning of dental training.
Our new Personalized Care Suite is the clinical care portion of our new Care Center for Persons with Disabilities. Along with providing outstanding dental care, it will be a place where helpful new products will be developed, where preventive techniques will be refined, and where resources can be developed for patients, their caregivers, and even our fellow health providers.
Every Penn Dental Medicine student will rotate through this Center, learning from interdisciplinary faculty serving patients with conditions that range from autism, Alzheimer’s, and paralysis to movement disorders, complex medical conditions, and much more.
Features of the new space include:
