The IWK Health Centre's dentistry department is trying to teach parents of kids with disabilities different approaches to caring for their teeth, but the team says families face hurdles simply accessing the most effective products on the market.
Dr. Tracy Doyle said parents and dentists constantly ask her for advice on how to adapt dental care at home.
She said patients can face a slew of challenges. Some have sensory issues, struggling with the texture and taste of toothpaste.
