Special needs patients--almost 107,000 children with disabilities in Pennsylvania
Abstract
The 2000 Census data indicating the numbers of children with disabilities in Pennsylvania is presented and broken down by city, metropolitan area and congressional districts. There are numerous difficulties associated with the delivery of dental care to these youngsters with special needs. Nevertheless, if all dentists were willing to help, each practitioner would need to care for only 14 of these youngsters.
