This article highlights five pediatric dental problems that relate to the overall importance of oral health in children: development of the oral cavity and its related structures, early infant caries, orthodontics, and dental trauma. Because prevention of disease plays a significant role in the dental health of infants and children particular attention is given to the role of the primary care pediatrician dental care of these patients. By educating patients and families, and by recognizing and appropriately referring dental pathology, the pediatrician is a main player for the promotion of dental health in infants and children.
