The environment surrounding a patient with complex medical conditions can directly shape how they experience care. Many of our patients at Sinai Health’s Special Care Dentistry Clinic live with autism, sensory sensitivities or complex medical conditions that can make traditional dental settings feel overstimulating and difficult to navigate. To help create a more supportive experience, the team is working to introduce Snoezelen-inspired sensory supports designed to reduce overstimulation and support emotional regulation throughout a patient’s visit. Using tactile and interactive elements, these calming sensory supports can help patients feel more at ease and better communicate with their care team during their appointments. Learn how your support can help bring this innovative technology to Sinai Health’s Special Care Dentistry Clinic. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4ygGtQm #SupportSinaiHealth #PowerOfCommunity #SinaiHealthDepartmentOfDentistry #DentalCare
