Packed with useful information, this is indeed an accessible and 'complete' guide.
Although the book has been developed for the American parent... it is relevant to parents within the UK. This is indeed a 'complete' guide.
This complete guide to children’s oral health for parents and caregivers is a powerful tool in improving the oral health of our nation and eliminating preventable pediatric dental disease for future generations.
Parents and other early-life caregivers influence how healthy our mouths will be throughout our lifetime. There is no greater influence on dental health than those who teach us how to care for and maintain our teeth. This book will benefit children by focusing on prevention—the most effective tool for improving dental health.
