The Egyptian Society for Pediatric Dentistry and those with Special Needs was founded in 2003 by a group of highly professionally and socially active professors of pediatric dentistry in Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University. This society is the only dental body involved in improving the oral health status of children with special needs.

Children with special needs cannot usually express what they feel or point out their complaint. They hope only to live without suffering dental pain. Our concern is to provide them with a simple pain free life through oral health education and high quality oral rehabilitation and a long term follow-up and attractive motivation to guard against the development of dental problems in the future.

We are trying to listen to their silent screaming as well as their parents and provide them with pain control and relief as much as possible. Some parents are denied access to treat their children because of financial barrier. Collected donations are directed to their support in having the necessary treatment.

One of the most important objectives of our society is the improvement oral and dental health knowledge through symposiums, conferences (national, regional and international) and training courses for pediatric dentists.
