Problems your pediatric patients may face
Abstract
Children are more that "just" pediatric dental patients. They may be the product of single parent families, families in economic difficulties, families that have experienced divorce and alcoholism. The children may have been subjected to neglect and/or abuse or may have required the services of mental health programs. A review is provided of the magnitude of these problems, which can and do affect the patients and the dental services that are provided.
