This includes screening infants in the first year of life, providing anticipatory guidance to parents, dealing with the unique challenges of adolescents, and addressing and managing the oral health care concerns of children with special health care needs. We, in the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, are a specialized and highly motivated dental team, trained in behavior management techniques, introducing and performing dental treatment for children while building a great rapport with them.
