Pediatric dentistry is far more than filling teeth on little people. It is managing behavior, understanding facial development, establishing successful treatment plans and performing the appropriate procedures. This course will stimulate your thinking about dental age, sequential care and management tools for successful care of children in a general practice. Part of the vastly different world of pediatrics includes watching a child grow as each examination with a pediatric patient is actually a new patient examination.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the crucial role of radiographs in pediatric dental examinations.
