Oral cavity is the window to many body systems. The oral cavity or the professionals dealing with the same such as dentists should not be considered at the backdrop for the purpose. Time has come for venturing jointly by the medical and dental professionals into the well being of the patient’s overall good health. There is a definite existing relationship between the oral health and general health.

As the saying goes, ‘Good habits start young’. Oral health is an integral part of the overall health and well-being of children. The early preventive dental care ensures children and parents are on the right track towards excellent oral health. It is important for every pediatric dental practice to assess if and in what capacity they could be involved in reaching out to both the children and their parents and guiding them toward improved child’s oral health.
