Abstract

Dental health in early childhood is a predictor for oral health as we age, and oral health is an important factor affecting overall health. For this reason, providing good guidance and early intervention is imperative to help set our patients up for success. To do this, providers must be familiar with dental anatomy and development, as well as recommendations for caries prevention, pacifier use, juice consumption, fluoride, and the establishment of a dental home. Aside from general oral health care, providers must also be able to provide guidance regarding dental trauma prevention and management. As health care providers are often the first point of contact after injury, they must be able to provide acute care and appropriate referral as necessary. [Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(1):e3-e8.].
