Dental Care Considerations for Young Children Because of their
developmental dependency, young children constitute a special
population requiring the attention and consideration of society
and its governmental policymakers. Oral health is an essential
and leading component of children’s overall health, functional
capacity, and social welfare. This chapter focuses on young
children’s oral health by highlighting disparities in both
health status and dental care, recognizing demographic trends
that will shape policies addressing their needs, describing
barriers to their care, and suggesting fruitful opportunities to
enhance their oral health, particularly through health
professions training. |Dental Care Considerations for Young
