Teeth implants, limited capacity?
Hiii all,
Wondering if someone can help with this… do you support/care for know of anyone with autism that has had a tooth replaced with an implant, who has limited capacity?
The tooth in question needs replaced, the best of interest group agrees this should be replaced due to location, being without it would further limit vocal ability, eating, teeth/gums would start to collapse and it would be a big sensory issue.
The dentist in question though (who is a NHS specialist for people with disabilities) are VERY VERY anti replace teeth and says it has not been done in the UK on people with severe disabilities as they can’t consent.
If you can assist please get in touch, this is something that drastically needs changed in the UK!
