The ISDH held an open session to identify what is needed now to guide dental services back to a level that meets people with disabilities’ needs and expectations.
The aim was to discuss the barriers that might hinder this and explore the next steps needed to ensure that patients can access care and dental professionals can support them.
This session will lead to the drafting of a briefing statement from the ISDH community to be shared with relevant stakeholders. This briefing will be built based on the discussion.
Attendees were informed about issues that other practitioners face in similar roles. Everyone had an opportunity to get involved.
