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.
