Special needs patients with physical and/or mental impairment may not be able to clean their teeth and keep their mouths healthy. Caregivers may also have difficulty adequately cleaning the teeth of a special needs patient. Certain products can help protect the teeth by supplying the minerals, calcium and phosphate needed to help prevent the loss of their teeth.
One such product, MI Paste[1] is designed to help strengthen tooth enamel, restore minerals that keep teeth healthy and improve saliva flow. From an application stand point, no special tools or implements are needed to apply the product, just consistency.
Ask your dental professional about these types of products to help you or someone you’re caring for to maintain their oral health. If we can answer any of your questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
