Transdisciplinary Approach in Management of Children with Early Childhood Caries
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Early childhood carries (ECC) is preventable but is still a major public health problemaffecting children in all communities due to lack of awareness about prevention. It is multi - factorial in origin and diet and feeding plays a critical role in the acquisition and clinical expression of this infection. It not only leads to poor oral health but also affects the overall general health of children. Treatment of ECC is costly because the cooperative capacity of babies and preschool children usually necessitates the use of general anesthesia. In transdisciplinary care, practitioners work together as a health-care team, viewing the patient and not the disease as the center of the process. This team includes Pediatricians, Pedodontist, General practitioners and even nurses who can perform simple ECC screening and detection techniques and take part in prevention techniques. By learning about the seriousness of ECC, parents and caregivers can take proper steps to prevent or seek recommended treatment in time. Keywords: Transdisciplinary approach, Early Childhood Caries.
