A Mother's Story of Hope-Bringing to Light a Disease Dentistry Isn't Well-Equipped to Treat

<p>This is the story of Solomon, a sweet and inspiring child who has Epidermylosis Bullosa, a disease that causes the skin and mucous membranes to be as fragile as butterfly wings; any mild trauma or friction results in their skin blistering. This also affects their oral health, and we as dental professionals aren't well-informed on how to provide the care they need, and in a safe environment.  </p> <p>Dori shares her story not only through her eyes as a mother, but also through the eyes of her son Solomon, and her journey to find a dentist to treat her son safely. As a collective, we can start bringing awareness to this disease and how we, as health care providers, can give them the care they deserve.  </p> <p>Resources available for parents of EB and dental professionals</p> <p><a href='https://www.debra.org'>https://www.debra.org</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.aegisdentalnetwork.com/id/2017/11/first-do-no-harm'>https://www.aegisdentalnetwork.com/id/2017/11/first-do-no-harm</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.ebresearch.org'>https://www.ebresearch.org</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.dentalclinics.umn.edu/our-clinics/moos-tower-clinics/specialty-clinics/pediatric-dentistry'>https://www.dentalclinics.umn.edu/our-clinics/moos-tower-clinics/specialty-clinics/pediatric-dentistry</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.cure-eb.org'>https://www.cure-eb.org</a></p> <p>Emmi-dent Oral Waver</p> <p><a href='https://professional.emmident-ultrasound.com/customer/auth#signup'>https://professional.emmident-ultrasound.com/customer/auth#signup</a></p> <p>At this website oral health professionals will have access to special offers and to pricing that are not available to the public.</p> <p>Note: The group code “DENTALALEMENTS” is needed in order to sign up and receive special pricing. </p> <p>Via this website, Professionals can also use a “share feature” to grant their patients access special “patients only” offers.</p> <p> </p>
