U.S. dental programs to train students to treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities

At the recommendation of the National Council on Disability, all U.S. dental programs must now teach their students assessment and management of dental treatment for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Council on Dental Accreditation passed votes for curricular changes for predoctoral dental, orthodontics, dental hygiene and dental assistant programs. This change is meant to address dental health disparities experienced by people with disabilities. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/at-ncds-recommendation-all-us-dental-schools-will-train-students-to-manage-treatment-of-people-with-intellectual-developmental-disabilities-300901897.html
