Understanding the Oral Sensory Challenges in Autistic Children by Smiles and Hearts Gurgaon

Many autistic children experience oral sensory challenges, making dental care at home and the clinic a struggle. They may be hypersensitive (overreacting to touch, textures, or tastes) or hyposensitive (seeking oral stimulation like chewing on objects). This can lead to difficulty brushing, gag reflex issues, and anxiety during dental visits.

💡 Common Oral Sensory Challenges:
🔹 Aversion to certain toothpaste flavors or textures
🔹 Gagging or discomfort during brushing
🔹 Resistance to dental tools in the mouth
🔹 Constant chewing on objects for sensory input
