Evidence confirms that people with learning disabilities’ uptake of screening services is lower and that they have poor oral health when compared to the general population. Good oral health is linked to good general health and a number of systemic diseases have oral manifestations. Improvements in oral health care can be obtained by encouraging carers to regularly examine the mouth of the person they are caring for. Completing an oral assessment will help to identify any changes in the mouth. This can aid diagnosis and treatment if reported to the dentist at an early stage. vThe guidelines are based on published evidence and follow the format of other clinical guidelines developed by the Faculty of Dental Surgery The Royal College of Surgeons of England and those from the British Society of Disability and Oral Health. Information was gathered from consultation groups of people with mild to moderate learning disabilities. Postal questionnaires were also used.
