Technical notebooks 06 - Children's Oral Health

Digital and Physical

Children's Oral Health is the subject of the sixth volume of the Technical Notebooks of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa.

Considering the importance of this area of ​​health – and especially its relevance in terms of preventive care for younger populations – the published articles are the result of research work carried out by professionals from SOL – Pediatric Dentistry Service of Lisbon, created in 2019 by Santa Casa.

The articles now published present topics that include clarification of the criteria for evaluating the need for orthodontic treatment, the importance of the family in children's oral health, the impact of music on reducing children's anxiety in the context of oral health, the relevance of the oral health professional in the diagnosis and signaling of abused and neglected children. In line with the current pandemic context, the best protocols to follow in pediatric dentistry are also presented.
