For Dr. Mary-Ellen Cascone, Head of Sinai Health’s Special Care Dentistry Clinic, caring for medically complex patients starts with ensuring they receive treatment in the right setting. Some patients require access to nurses, physicians, or sedation to safely receive dental treatment — care that is only available in a hospital environment. “These are things that cannot happen out in the community for our more medically complex patients,” explains Dr. Cascone. That’s what makes Sinai Health's Department of Dentistry so critical for patients whose care extends beyond what traditional dental clinics can provide. As one of the only specialized hospital-based dental programs of its kind in Ontario, Sinai Health provides comprehensive care many patients cannot access elsewhere. Some patients and families travel from across the province to access this specialized support. To these patients and families, this is more than dental care. It’s the reassurance of finally finding a place where they can safely receive the care they deserve. Learn how your support can help ensure patients with complex needs can continue accessing this specialized care. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g-TGFZn6 #SupportSinaiHealth #PowerOfCommunity #SinaiHealthDepartmentOfDentistry #DentalCare
