For some people, high drilling, bright fluorescent lights and uncomfortable cracking and arrangement can make a visit to the dentist’s office. But for people with special needs who are often hypersensitive to sounds, lights and touch, this can be especially difficult.

Patients with special needs often need to be soothed for routine examinations or require more time to desensitize. Those with physical disabilities may need specialized equipment such as wheelchair lifts. For complex procedures, Medi-Cal insurance from patients with disabilities usually does not pay very well, further limiting patients’ access to private dentists.
Many of these patients are Place waiting lists or you should drive hours To the closer clinic that will take them -which will make them one of the most unauthorized populations in the country for dental care, according to the California Dental Association.
To help improve dental assistance for people with disabilities in development and other special needs, the state has issued its last round of grants to a dental clinic in February in February a total amount $ 47.2 million to 13 dentists and clinicsS
One recipient is Maxmilian Chamberrs, an Imperial County dentist, who received a $ 5 million grant to open a dental surgical center for patients with special needs. The grant will cover the cost of construction for eight chairs and two surgical theaters. Chambers said that when the clinic opened, it would be able to serve about 2100 people a year and would probably treat patients traveling from Arizona and Mexical.
- Cammers: “I want to make a change. I don’t want them to wait two to three years to see a dentist, everything has changed and worse at that time.”

California legislators have tried, with different successyes Pass measures to regulate AIand assembly Dawn AdisDemocrat from San Luis Western said there were “many questions without answering safety, supervision and consequences for working to use AI in Diablo.”
