RL Karlinsey. Emphasizing minimally invasive strategies for improved dental care of children. Journal of Dentistry, Oral Disorders & Therapy 5, 1 (2017).
Abstract
In the spirit of National Children’s Dental Health Month, this paper highlights a few strategies that can be used to promote effective management of dental care for children, including fluoride modalities, effective dentist-patient communication, and minimally invasive recommendations for handling enamel lesions; in short, these strategies may serve to provide the child with a more patient-centered approach to improved oral care. At the same time, such management may potentially save the child’s tooth structure from potentially counter-productive solutions involving ‘drill and fill’.
