Comprehensive dental healthcare for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities

WHO WE ARE

Dental care is the leading unmet health care need for children with special needs.

  • There are estimated to be more than 190,000 adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Pennsylvania.
  • One in three disabled adults have experienced an unmet health-care need over the past year due to high costs associated with their condition.
  • One in two severely disabled individuals cannot find access to proper dental care.

A Gift of Smiles is working to make a difference by providing access to dental healthcare for those with intellectual or developmental disabilities living in central Pennsylvania.
