"Special Teeth Day"

Free dentistry for people with disabilities

To mark Disability Day, the dental clinic in Krems focused on patients with special needs, making an important contribution to improving dental care.

In the run-up to today's Disability Day, the dental clinic in Krems was already showing off its teeth in a good cause. Together with the inclusive sports club "Special Needs Krems-Wachau", the "Special Teeth Days" at the Danube Private University (DPU) made a contribution to improving dental care for people with disabilities for the third time.

Dental care improved
Under the direction of senior physician Susann Pinder and patron Ines Leppich, 20 patients with disabilities received free oral hygiene and dental check-ups. "The 'Special Teeth Days' show how important it is to cater to the individual needs of patients. There is often not enough time for this in a regular practice. On these special days, we can take this time, which not only benefits the patients, but also offers the students valuable practical experience," explains Ines Leppich.
