Most students are unlikely to limit their specialty training to a special-needs qualification, Chiang said. Chiang said that she has specialist qualifications in oral pathology, pediatric dentistry and special-needs dentistry. Hopefully, Taiwan can introduce more incentives and create a better environment for dentists willing to work in special-needs care, which would help retain talent, she said.
