Article Synopsis
- Pediatric dentistry focuses on providing care to children with special needs, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who often struggle with oral hygiene due to communication difficulties and sensory sensitivities.
- Research highlights the importance of early intervention services for these children, with visual methods being most effective for their learning styles.
- The picture exchange communication system (PECS) is gaining popularity in dental settings as it helps children with ASD communicate their needs, leading to better oral hygiene practices and reduced behavioral issues.
