CP is a neurologic condition caused by oxygen deficiency at some time during the development of a
baby. A wide variation in the level of affliction is seen, although the condition is
characterized by poor control of motor movements and overcontracted muscles. The more severely
afflicted CP patients often have excessive saliva, excessive calculus, and thankfully very few
problems with cavities. We find more gum care necessary for these patients than might be
expected, as some of their medications also contribute to dental gum problems.
