Africa: Disabilities Should Not Exclude People from Receiving Dental Care

[allAfrica] In 2015, I had a client with Down Syndrome while working as a dentist in Ekiti State, southwest Nigeria. He came for a root canal treatment. As a competent dentist, I had a hard time treating the patient, because the dental facility did not have some of the equipment needed to treat People with Disabilities (PWDs).  Also, I did not know how go about communicating with PWDs about their dental care needs.
