Oral and Dental Health and Hygiene in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children: A Policy Brief
Abstract
Approximately 430 million people worldwide need treatment for their hearing loss, and 80% live in low- and middle-income countries. Because hard-of-hearing patients have difficulty receiving oral hygiene education, they are unable to communicate easily with dental personnel and are therefore at increased risk of developing oral diseases.
