Abstract

The parents of children requiring dental care have to be made aware of the fact that the dentist who is willing to take up the responsibility of comprehensive dental care of a child has acquired the necessary training in Behavioral Pedodontics and developed skill for child management in dentistry. The approach of the dental team catering to children would be different from that practiced for adults. The dental care for children can be an enjoyable and satisfying experience for everyone: the child, parent and the dentist who understand this ‘difference’.
