Abstract

The article analyzes the problems of social adaptation of deaf patients in the context of receiving dental care. The main barriers that arise in communication between doctors and patients are considered, such as difficulties in conveying complaints, discussing a treatment plan and informed consent. The features of sign language as the main means of communication and its impact on the availability of medical services are described. The existing organizational and technical solutions aimed at improving the quality of dental care for deaf patients are studied. The need to implement comprehensive programs for training medical personnel and use modern technologies to minimize barriers in communication is substantiated.
