Preface
Traumatic injuries that involve the teeth and mouth are common and frequently devastating for the individual involved. Strategies to prevent or minimize the risk of traumatic dental injuries in children should be a part of the anticipatory guidance that all dentists provide to their patients and families. This book is meant to be a clinical guide for dentists, educators, and dental students to increase awareness of ways to prevent and manage traumatic dental injuries in children. The challenges that are unique to young children and children with special health care needs are discussed and techniques for addressing these needs are described. Because traumatic injuries occur unexpectedly, dental and other health care providers need to have an easily accessible resource available to them to ensure timely and appropriate treatment is provided. This book is intended to serve as that resource and to complement the existing trauma guidelines developed by the International Association of Dental Traumatology. Seattle, WA, USA Portland, OR, USA
