Topic

There are at least three good reasons why parts of the paediatric knowledge should be studied also by students of dentistry. Firstly, dentists are doctors of medicine, who might be required to provide first aid to children or to give advice to parents of children with health problems. Therefore dentists should be aware of the basic concepts of the treatment of such common problems of children like fever, seizure or allergic reaction. Secondly, the society does not differentiate between the opinion of doctors with medical diploma; hence, dentists should have proper information about the up-to-date general questions of caring for the sick child within the society. Thirdly, dentists treat also children with chronic health problems, therefore basic concepts of the treatment of chronic paediatric diseases should be known by dentists as well.
