Dental Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783659879821)

Tooth decay, if left untreated even in the earliest stages of life, can have serious implications for a child's long-term health and well-being. There are many reports and studies which report risk factors associated with the development of oral disease in children but none of them provide a strategy to determine accurately which infant at birth will develop oral diseases later in its life course. To develop such strategy there is need for early identification and management of risk factors at the earliest in the life course (within first year of infant life), which can be achieved only by the CONCEPT OF PREVENTION of oral diseases. The answer for implementing concept of prevention lies in seeking professional counselling and services as early as possible. Keeping this idea in mind this book attempts to discuss the concept of Dental Home and its various strategies that can beemployed to take a step forward for better oral health of the individual starting from childhood.
