Why an orofacial clinic?
- To alleviate the need to transport your child out of the area for care
- To allow your child to be seen in one place by several specialists at one appointment
- To allow the orofacial team to review your child’s case and make further recommendations for a plan of care to fit your children’s needs
- To maintain a central office for questions and referrals
- To ensure your child has the best care available to him/her
- To provide the best resources available to meet your child’s individual needs
