What is unique in people
with Down syndrome?

Teeth
• Short roots
• Missing teeth
• Microdontia
• Small teeth
• Can result in spacing
between the teeth
• Peg lateral incisors

Oral Health
• Fissured tongue
• Macroglossia
• Large tongue
• Hypotonia
• Low muscle tone
• Low muscle tone and large tongues lead to an open mouth posture

Malocclusion
• Small midface
• Small upper jaw
• Crossbites
• Top teeth are inside the
bottom teeth
• Can happen in the front,
back, or both
• Open bite
• Top and bottom teeth do
not touch
• Crowded teeth
• Impacted canines

Orthodontics
• May be best to defer
braces or orthodontic
treatment to allow for
speech development
which can be delayed by
orthodontic appliances

Delayed Eruption
• The 1st tooth in children with Down syndrome typically erupts at 12 to 14 months
• Can be up to 24 months
• A child with Down syndrome may be 4 or 5 years old before all the baby teeth come in
• The order the teeth come in may be different than children without Down syndrome

Delayed Eruption
• Permanent front teeth and 6 year molars may not erupt until 8 - 9 years of age

Bruxism
• Bruxism
• Tooth grinding
• Common in children
• Typically resolves on its
own
• Typically does not
damage the teeth
• In children with
developmental disabilities
• May be severe
• May continue beyond
childhood
• Mouthguards are avoided
because they may break
and be choking hazards
![Page 12: (PPT) Oral Health and Down Syndrome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54653e78b4af9f583f8b4ea5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Periodontal Disease
• Increased periodontal disease
• “Gum disease”
• Even when compared to
people of the same age
with other intellectual
disabilities and people
without intellectual
disabilities
• Disease not proportional to oral hygiene
• Due to impaired immunity

Risk of Cavities
• Data mixed
• Some studies say fewer
cavities
• Other studies say no
significant difference
• Many of the studies are
from when people with
Down syndrome were
institutionalized and do not
account for modern, non-
institutionalized diets

How can cavities be
prevented ?

Preventing Cavities
• Begin brushing with Fluoride tooth paste when the first teeth erupt
• The first dental visit should be within 6 months of first tooth eruption, no later than 12 months of age
• Avoid carbohydrate containing liquids from a bottle or sippy cup, especially for long durations of time
• Avoid carbohydrate containing between meal snacks and drinks
![Page 16: (PPT) Oral Health and Down Syndrome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54653e78b4af9f583f8b4ea5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Toothbrushing
• Before tooth eruption
• Wipe mouth with a
moistened cloth
• First tooth - 2 years
• Soft toothbrush and a
smear of F- toothpaste
once per day
• Do not rinse
• 2 - 6 years
• Pea-sized amount of F-
toothpaste twice daily
• Spit, do not rinse
• > 6 years
• F- toothpaste twice daily
Smear
Pea-sized amount

Prevention Tips
• ACT Fluoride Rinse
• Can dip a toothbrush in
ACT and brush the teeth
for children with sensory
issues who cannot tolerate
toothpaste
![Page 18: (PPT) Oral Health and Down Syndrome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54653e78b4af9f583f8b4ea5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prevention Tips
• Flosser
• Handle helps to floss
another person
• Helps to protect fingers
when flossing someone
else
![Page 19: (PPT) Oral Health and Down Syndrome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54653e78b4af9f583f8b4ea5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prevention Tips
• Electric toothbrush
• Can be helpful
• Some people with
developmental disabilities
find it difficult to tolerate
the vibration
• Start with an inexpensive
electric toothbrush to
ensure it is tolerated
before purchasing an
expensive one

Visiting the Dentist
![Page 21: (PPT) Oral Health and Down Syndrome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54653e78b4af9f583f8b4ea5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Antibiotics for Dental Visits
• People with certain heart
conditions have to take
antibiotics prior to going to
the dentist
• Ask your cardiologist if
antibiotics are needed for
dental visits
• Make sure to let you
dentist know about all
health conditions
especially heart conditions

Sensory Issues or Aversions
• Light
• Sound of handpiece
• Sound of suction
• Water or air syringe
• Tastes and textures of
gloves, gauze, dental
materials
• Movement of chair
• Before the exam consider
laying the chair flat first
rather than moving the
chair with the patient in it

Treatment Options
• Many people with Down
syndrome can cooperate
for dental care in the
traditional office setting
• In office sedation may not
be appropriate for some
people with Down
syndrome due to
• Small airway
• Low muscle tone causing
airway collapse
• Large tongue
• General anesthesia may
be needed to complete
dental treatment

Resources
• Ask other people with
Down syndrome and their
families for
recommendations
