Dental care among young adults with intellectual disability

Abstract: Dental care among young adults with intellectual disability (ID) is poorly documented and largely unmet. By using population-based data from the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Follow-Up Study, we assessed factors associated with at least one or two dental visits per year among young adults with and without ID. Significantly fewer young adults with ID (45%) visited a dentist at least once per year, compared with those without ID (58%). ID severity and the presence of co-occurring developmental … Show more

“…Much of the dental literature on disability has focused on children and adults with intellectual disabilities, including those living in congregate care settings. [30][31][32][33] However, intellectual disability is relatively rare, constituting 1% to 3% of the US population, 34 whereas the total prevalence of disability is approximately 19%. 35 Dentists should be aware of the range of disability types they may encounter and of appropriate approaches to meeting the needs of diverse people with disabilities.…”

“…There is a growing body of evidence that people with intellectual disability (ID) are at risk of health care disparities, unmet medical needs, and reduced life expectancy compared to the general population (Anderson et al, 2013; Krahn and Fox, 2014; Fenton et al, 2003; Hayden et al, 2005; Kancherla et al, 2013; Morgan et al, 2012; Salvador-Carulla and Symonds, 2016; Heslop and Glover, 2015; Lauer and McCallion, 2015). Recent reports by the United States Public Health Service and the Institute of Medicine identify a number of potential explanations for health disparities for individuals with ID, such as poor access to primary care, failure to include people with ID in public health programs and prevention activities, and insufficient education of health care providers (Krahn and Fox, 2014; Hayden et al, 2005; U.S.…”
