摘要
Adults with Down Syndrome (DS) have particular oral health needs, requiring a supportive, empathic and well-informed dental team.Although most adults with DS in the study visit the dentist regularly, relatively little restorative treatment was provided.Experiences of oral care are influenced by the attitudes and skills of dental health professionals, and relatives' attitudes, preferences and knowledge.Relatives of adults with DS want more appropriate and timely oral health information from health care professionals.Current policy initiatives provide an opportunity for dentists to collaborate with other health and social care professionals to improve the provision of oral health care and information for people with DS.
