Special Oral Health Concerns


Every Smile Matters

Every Smile Matters is designed to increase awareness for Nevadans with intellectual and development disabilities (ID/DD) of the importance of oral healthcare as an integral part of overall health. By engaging and connecting dental and medical providers, people with disabilities and their families/caregivers, community-based organizations, community leaders, advocates, policy makers, and key stakeholders, together we can improve outcomes, increase quality of life, and improve access to culturally competent oral health care for Nevadans with ID/DD. The expanded benefits portion of this project is targeted to adults with ID/DD on the Home and Community Based ID Waiver.
