Infant Oral Health Care : A Contemporary Guide Book to Perfect Infant Oral Health Care

Promotion of oral health and preventive dental care are fundamental concepts in dentistry for children. In this context, the pediatric dentist has a specific responsibility to children and their parents as well as to society. The preventive process must begin early in infancy during the infant's first year to ensure a successful outcome. The purpose of an infant oral health program is to improve access to care, to provide counseling and anticipatory guidance for children aged 6 months to 5 years. The goal is to provide infants and toddlers with a pleasant, non-threatening introduction to dentistry and to establish and reinforce the foundation of sound dental habits. The Current Text offers a Contemporary Guide to Perfect Oral Health Care in Infants.
