Dental Clinic
Seeach Sod has a unique dental clinic suitable for children with learning disabilities.
Dental care – both restorative and preventive, is a health need for everyone.
The dentist's challenge doubles when it comes to patients with learning disabilities. He has to ensure that if his patients are to have healthy teeth, they must feel at ease and relaxed.
The clinic provides all oral maintenance services, except for orthodontics.

Need:
Oral maintenance of most people/children with disabilities is in great neglect for motor, cognitive and mental reasons.
Dental care is expensive, many parents do not meet the burden, and sometimes the people/ children do not receive the necessary response.
Regular dental clinics are not equipped in terms of equipment and personnel, to treat people with disabilities.
Goals:
Implement proper mouth maintenance habits among people with disabilities.
Ongoing maintenance of oral health: root canals, etc.
Urgent emergency treatments.
Activity:
The clinic is open on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, with four staff members present. The average waiting time is only two weeks. Seeach Sod students come to the clinic for an annual check-up and are referred when necessary for further treatment.
Location:
Jeremiah 31, Romema, Jerusalem.
Treatments according to a subsidized tariff of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Data: In the past year, 428 clients were treated at the clinic, and 2236 treatments were performed, 25 of them dental implants. An average of 30 treatments are performed each week, with 3 first aid treatments per day. The clinic has accumulated 1290 hours of operation in the past year. 43,000 NIS were saved for the benefit of the graduates' activities.
Accessibility:
Every Sunday there is guidance by a qualified dental hygienist, every week to staff a different apartment on oral and dental health.
Appointments are set for the convenience of the student, in coordination with the apartment coordinator and the framework team today, so that he does not miss activities in the classrooms. Students who are in employment are treated only on Fridays, so they don't miss workdays.
Students who have difficulty cooperating in the treatment receive sedative treatment on the recommendation of the clinic and parental approval. Soon a laughing gas response will be applied, which is a sedative tool to help students receive dental service.
