| During The Dental Home for Persons with Autism seminar |
Autism Society Philippines hosted “The Dental Home for Persons with Autism" seminar last 31 August 2013 at the Lecture Room of Quezon City Hall.
Ms. Cecile Sicam, ASP Co-Founder and incumbent National Vice-President opened the event by introducing the resource speakers Dr. Manuel Vallesteros, who serves as the Executive director of the Pediatric Dentistry Center Philippines, and Dr. Jasper Tago, a licensed dentist and training staff in PDCP.
Dr. Noel tackled the fundamental of dental care like the causes, prevention and treatment if we faced oral health difficulties. He mentioned the first seven effective brushing habits for children. The participants were amazed at the wealth of practical information shared, such as how to choose a right toothpaste. Dr. Jasper led the discussion on the services PDCP provides, and articulated the benefits of the newly-established ASP-PDCP partnership to the members of ASP.
The ASP-PDCP agreement stipulates:
