We explore the unique challenges faced by patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) during dental appointments. Our guests, Brian Jones, a health care executive, and Tina Saw, a dentist and health care leader, share insights on how sensory sensitivities, higher oral care needs, and barriers to care impact these patients. They’ll discuss innovative approaches like chair-side salivary testing and the critical role of medical-dental integration in improving health outcomes.

Brian Jones is a health care executive. Tina Saw is a dentist and health care executive.

They discuss the KevinMD article, "Is saliva the key to early disease detection and better oral health outcomes for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities?"
