Abstract

‘Prevention is better than cure’! This saying holds well in the field of dentistry too. Prevention of oral health diseases is one of the important aspects of pediatric dentistry. It can be done by identifying dental risk individuals at an early age and by adopting strategies which include various behavior modifications and anticipatory guidance as well as by establishing a dental home by one year of age. The distinct concept of a dental home is where preventive oral health supervision and emergency care are taken care of. Early establishment of the dental home in the child’s life can expose a child to prevention and early interventions before any dental problem arises. Keywords: Pediatric dentistry, Prevention, Oral health, medical home, dental home, AAPD, first dental visit.
