| Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist 3 MCE Lecture Credits |
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
More and more, oral health experts are agreeing that children should see the dentist when their first teeth erupt. Unfortunately,
there are few pediatric dentists throughout New York State, and many general dentists are leery of treating the very young in their
dental office.
This course will demystify the various issues and concerns surrounding treating very young children. It will present the salient
issues affecting promotion of oral health and establishment of a dental home for the very young child.
A broad range of infant, toddler and preschooler oral health issues will be presented, including prenatal oral health, tooth
formation and eruption, infant oral medicine, nutrition, initial oral evaluation, oral hygiene, prevention, intervention, the role of
anticipatory guidance and an understanding of the Head Start system and its dental requirements.
