H Barry Waldman et al. J Calif Dent Assoc. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

The 2000 Census data on the numbers of children with disabilities in California are presented 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 13 of these youngsters. This paper will cover demographics, children with disabilities, dental services, and politics.
