The clinic is expected to open in early 2024 and it will be a unique school in the south Texas region.
“My daughter has some medical comorbidities, which require her to be treated in a specialty clinic,” said Prasanna.
She had to see several separate dental offices until she found UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry. Soon the specialty care her child is getting will be expanded even further thanks to a $2 million federal grant to support a large special-care clinic., said families with medical complexities need special attention.
Staff at UT Health SA School of Dentistry’s special-care clinic will be trained to care for those with cerebral palsy, autism, or other physical disabilities that might impact their access to dental care.“It’s an area that requires additional training. So every dentist can do this, every hygienist, they just need a little bit of extra training on management of a more complex medical or physical challenge that a patient may have,” Loomer said.
The Phil and Karen Hunke Special Care Clinic will be named after Dr. Hunke, a retired pediatric dentist, who provided the seed money for the clinic.
