| Summary | The aim of this course is to teach the student about the impact of paediatric medical conditions on oral health and the delivery of oral healthcare. |
| Course description |
Not all the children we treat are fit and health. A number of children who are referred to the specialist paediatric dentist have several health issues that may compromise their dental care. Students are taught about the various medical issues of importance to paediatric dentistry and how dental care can impact on these medical conditions. The importance of liaising with medical colleagues when planning care of these patients is emphasised.
