Mouth and teeth | The jaw is usually too small for adult teeth. The gums can sometimes be thicker. | The dentist determines if the teeth need to be straightened. It is recommended to visit a dentist who has experience with children with an intellectual disability. Your own healthcare provider can refer you to a centre for specific dental care. | Teeth can be straightened when there are serious problems with closing the jaws and chewing. A dentist can also recommend removing teeth or molars. |
