It is important to provide appropriate oral care in order to promote quality of life and good health for everyone, especially for children with special healthcare needs. Method: We reviewed the recent literature to collect knowledge regarding the delivery of quality oral care to children with special healthcare needs. We also explored some of the treatment management options that could address the needs of these children when attending dental clinics. Result: Unfortunately, we noted significant inequalities with issues related to oral health among those children. This situation often results in limitations to the activities of daily living for these children. There is therefore a need for much-needed advancements and refinements in oral healthcare to address the needs of children who have special healthcare needs. Conclusions: Providing children with special healthcare needs with high-quality dental care may necessitate active liaisons with healthcare facilitators and will require work across professions to make certain that these children\u2019s oral health is also prioritized. Coordinated efforts by dental professionals are needed to provide dental health education and preventive interventions for these children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11195557","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T21:10:05Z","timestamp":1663881005000},"page":"5557","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Oral Care for Children with Special Healthcare Needs in Dentistry: A Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Hamdan","family":"Alamri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Majmaah University, Al-Majmaah 11952, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.7748\/ncyp2013.06.25.5.19.e201","article-title":"Dental health management for children with special healthcare needs","volume":"25","author":"Howell","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nurs.
