Individuals with special needs are the most underserved regarding healthcare needs in almost all populations. Special needs patients with intellectual disability have muscle coordination disorder, impaired oral motor function, drooling, weak muscles that cause chewing and swallowing problems. Also, soft diet consumption makes this population more prone to dental disease. They have more caries, missing teeth, orthodontic and periodontal problems. Oral healthcare for this special group is often neglected or down the list, and as a result, they often attend to dental clinics with emergency. The major challenges they have with their overall health may create barriers to access to proper oral healthcare. Providing good oral health mainly depends on the effort of the families and the community. Therefore, the education of the caregiver about oral hygiene provision is also critical for the special needs patient to enjoy a lifetime of oral health the same as other members of the society.
