Patients with Complex Medical Needs: Patients who are immunocompromised or those with complex health concerns, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or respiratory conditions, often require special considerations for their dental care.
Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy and other cancer treatments can increase the risk of a host of oral health concerns, including dry mouth, cavities, and oral infections.
Patients with Organ Transplants: Patients who have undergone organ transplants face unique oral health challenges and are at a higher risk of dry mouth, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral infections.
Patients with Cognitive, Emotional, or Physical Needs: Patients with cognitive, emotional, or physical needs are often prone to dry mouth, tooth decay, gum disease, oral infections, and trauma and may require specific accommodations to meet their needs.
