To support pediatricians in their efforts to instruct parents on the importance of children’s oral health, AAP has developed the Pediatric Guide to Children’s Oral Health Flip Chart and Reference Guide. This product supports pediatricians and other child health professionals in conducting oral health assessments and educating patients.
- The Flip Chart provides color photographs and text on topics such as tooth eruption and structure, caries risk assessment, recognizing early childhood caries, anticipatory guidance, fluoride modalities and treatments, dental trauma, and oral anomalies.
- The Reference Guide provides additional in-depth information to answer questions the health care professional may have about children’s oral health. Topics covered include tooth structure, anticipatory guidance, management of oral infection and pain, dental trauma, tooth injury, fracture, oral soft tissue trauma, injury prevention, congenital oral anomalies, and children with special needs.
- You can download a copy of the tool from the Children’s Oral Health Web site.
- You also can order a copy from the AAP Bookstore.
