I think that the closure of this dental facility is very unfortunate and will effect many people. It is too bad that there are not more facilities similar to this one at Tufts University or that private practices do not welcome everyone, but that they only take a select number of people. After reading this post, it reminded me of another article I read which should make people more aware that those with special needs are not getting the dental care they need, and rather than closing facilities such as the one mentioned above, there should be more opening up.
The article I read, discusses how those with special needs are more likely to develop oral disease than those without. The article points out that, "special diets, frequent use of medicine and lack of proper oral hygiene can make it challenging to maintain good oral health." Dental care, I think, is just as important as every other medical health, and therefore should be available for those who want it.
What do you think?
