Dental and Orthodontics


Feel free to submit resources to 21Strong2010@gmail.com

Dental Care for the Patient with Down Syndrome

Practical Oral Care for Patients with Down Syndrome


Dental Care Guidance for Caregivers of Patients with Down Syndrome

For the first time: Melody had found it to be successful for Amber by letting Amber watch her big brother go first, and then her Dad the first 2 to 3 times going to the dentist. The Dentist then would peek in her mouth, and eventually build up to doing a full cleaning by the 3rd visit.  

Four 21 Strong Families go to Kids First Dentists and First Impressions for Orthodontics in Fairfield and Norwalk.  They do free consultations and are GREAT with kids.

Other referrals from 21 Strong families for dentists:
Dr. Gish in Fairfield
Dr. Gordon Lee in Westport
