| Research Abstract |
It was revealed that the prevalence of dental caries in school children with disabilities increased with age, and the rate was particularly high among mentally retarded children, who had difficulty cooperating with routine dental examination procedures. It is necessary to provide support for recommended oral care practices before children reach school age. Considering the background factors including transport accessibility, costs, and the burden on accompanying family members, it is needed to establish a system that gives preschool children access to personal dentists. Visual tools such as picture cards may effectively deliver information on tooth brushing and dental examinations.
