Here are some other reasons why these special patients do not generally get the amazing dental care they deserve:

By using candy as a tool for behavior management, it is found that children with autism face an increased risk for decay from sugar.
Patients with autism are typically orally sensitive, making any attempt at dental work tricky, and any painful slip up from an inexperienced hand can cause the individual to fear the dentist indefinitely.
Parents or guardians avoid the dentist because of the child’s fear of the dentist.
Patients with autism unfortunately tend to develop chewing or biting habits that can negatively impact the health and positioning of their teeth. Regular visits to the dentist can ensure that these behaviors have as minimal of an impact as possible.

Any injury to the mouth may be concealed or even ignored due to the preconceived fears of the dentist, it is important that upon the occurrence of any dental emergency that a child or adult see an experienced dentist.

Correction of a poor bite is considered by some dentists as being difficult to fix, or nearly impossible.
In any situation poor eating habits have an adverse impact on the oral health of an individual, so it is particularly important to recognize and cease any pacification eating or drinking as it is not conducive to maintaining a healthy mouth.
