Support caregivers to improve oral health of adults with developmental disabilities

Boston: Despite a policy focus on expanding access to care for adults with developmental disabilities, this vulnerable population continues to have significant dental disease.

The study findings suggest that, in addition to addressing access to care, policy initiatives must improve support for caregivers.
