Main description:

Dentistry can provoke great apprehension in children, and successfully managing younger patients presents both the greatest challenge and the greatest reward for a dentist. This book is less about child taming and more about training the dental team and parents to work together to ensure that children's visits to the dentist are pleasurable experiences.
