Product Description:

Oral hygiene plays a significant role in the overall health of an individual. Children with NDD are at increased risk for poor dental health. Proper home care, as well as regular dental visits, will prevent dental & systemic health concerns. Some individuals may require dental care under general anesthesia we want to minimize the number of times a patient requires care in this setting. Barriers to oral hygiene practices prevent caregivers from performing regular oral hygiene.
