About this book

This book is a practical, comprehensive guide to the management of children and adolescents in general dental practice. A logical, evidence-based approach to oral health is adopted throughout. The commonly encountered oral and dental problems and their diagnosis and treatment are covered in detail, with particular attention to dental caries, dental trauma, developmental anomalies, periodontal problems, and soft tissue conditions. Up-to-date guidance is provided on history taking, dental examination, preventive strategies and advanced behaviour management. In addition the relevance of common medical conditions to dental management is discussed. The book is divided into four sections, each of which focusses on a specific age group, helping the reader to relate clinical issues to the different dental developmental stages. The readily understandable text is supported by many informative colour illustrations and diagrams.

Reviews

“The book ‘Paediatric Dentistry for the General Dental Practitioner’ is a detailed and comprehensive treatise on the management of the pediatric dental patient addressed to dental therapists, the dental foundation and junior trainees.” (Iulia Ciolachi, Stomatology EDU Journal, Vol. 9 (3-4), 2022)

“This text would also be useful for dental therapists, dental foundation and core trainees … . The sections are clearly organised making it easy to find a particular topic of interest. Overall, it provides a very detailed and comprehensive summaryof the management of a paediatric dental patient. The authors have presented a good amalgamation of facts and clinical cases to keep the reader engaged and to help ensure the information can be applied clinically.” (Orla Carty, British Dental Journal, Vol. 234 (3), February, 2023)
