  • Title: Preventive dental care: the role of the pediatrician.
    Author: Herrmann HJ, Roberts MW.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1987 Jul; 80(1):107-10. PubMed ID: 3601505.
    Abstract:
    The pediatrician can assist the dental profession in preventing dental disease and maintaining the oral health of children. Pediatricians are urged to counsel parents in dietary and oral hygiene practices that will prevent dental caries and to refer patients for professional dental care when appropriate. Systemic fluoride supplements should be prescribed when needed but only after a careful review of requirements and daily consumption.
