Oral Care for Kids on the Spectrum


The National Museum of Dentistry has created a new resource called Healthy Smiles for Autism to empower parents of children with autism spectrum disorder to establish a healthy oral hygiene routine and prepare their children for a visit to the dentist. Using step-by-step instruction, this guide helps parents teach their children on the spectrum how to properly brush and floss their teeth to maintain good oral hygiene. Visual sequencing cards and rewards systems are also offered to help children enjoy a productive visit to the dentist.
