Itani Dental Launches “Dentistry for All” Promoting Inclusivity in Dental Care

Itani Dental Launches “Dentistry for All” Initiative, Promoting Accessibility, and Inclusivity in Dental Care

Itani Dental, a leading provider of comprehensive dental services in San Francisco, is proud to announce a new initiative to enhance accessibility and inclusivity in its dental practices.

Dr. Itani is a highly skilled and experienced dentist with more than a decade of experience in the industry. He established the practice in 2009 and has served as a member of many local organizations including the California Hospital Dental Group, Dental Division at Kaiser, and the Department of Aging and Adult Services for the City of San Francisco. 

His work specializes in the care of patients with unique special needs, including those with age-related complications such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, those with mobility-limiting conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, those with intense phobias of dental treatment, and those falling into the geriatric care category of elderly patients needing carefully tailored care.

Nearly a quarter of adults in the United States, representing 27 percent, are living with some form of disability.

Recognizing the challenges that individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities (IDD) often face when accessing dental services, Itani Dental is committed to becoming a disability ally, in line with the guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This new initiative includes several key components:

  1. Education and Training: Itani Dental is providing extensive training to all staff members to foster understanding and empathy toward individuals with disabilities. This includes learning about different types of disabilities, respectful communication, and the adjustments necessary for providing a comfortable dental experience for all patients.
  2. Accessible Environment: Itani Dental is committed to ensuring that its facilities are accessible. This includes examining current practices and making necessary modifications to physical spaces and equipment to accommodate all patients.
  3. Inclusive Services: Itani Dental is committed to ensuring its services are inclusive. This involves incorporating adjustments into standard procedures to accommodate patients with a variety of needs
  4. Community Outreach: Itani Dental will strengthen its ties with the local community and organizations that serve individuals with disabilities. This will foster greater understanding and collaboration, and ensure that the needs of all patients are being met.
