    Journal: Dent Update; 1998 Mar; 25(2):65-8, 70-2. PubMed ID: 9791210.
    Abstract:
    The provision of high-quality dental care for children presents a challenge for the general dental practitioner. The aim must be to ensure that young patients reach adulthood with optimal dental health. This series of three articles takes an overview of good practice in the provision of dental care for children, with emphasis on disease prevention, early diagnosis of dental disease and deformity and appropriate treatment measures. This first paper discusses preventive measures and highlights the need to apply them, particularly for patients at high risk of dental disease or with special needs in relation to dentistry.
