Christel Seeberger: [00:00:02] Welcome to the sensory friendly dentistry audio conference brought to you by Sensory Friendly Solutions, I'm Christel Seeberger.  Good oral care and hygiene at all ages is extremely important for health and well-being. For children and adults with additional sensory challenges, maintaining good oral health, even establishing it can be very difficult due to that sensory rich experience of going to the dentist. Sensory sensitivity and sensory overload often prevent people from going to the dentist and taking care of their oral hygiene, even at home. By our estimates, at least 33 percent of the population, one third of people around the world are prone to experience sensory sensitivity or sensory overload. Underlying diagnoses like anxiety, autism, concussion, PTSD and many more make people more likely to have extra difficulty processing their senses. Starting good dental care at a young age can prevent the development of costly and painful complications by creating a sensory friendly dental office, environment and experience, we improve oral health and wellbeing. Join guest host Chelsea Bloom and Stephanie London occupational therapy students and me as we have inspiring and educational conversations with audio conference guests about the importance of sensory friendly family dentistry. Throughout this audio conference, you'll hear the experiences, knowledge and advice of a series of guests, a dentist, a periodontist, a dental hygienist, along with parents and disability advocates. We hope these conversations serve as a guide to make dental care more inclusive and accessible for everyone while providing dental care teams with the concrete and actionable strategies and ideas to bring sensory friendly dentistry to life. Thank you for listening.
