Description:

Dentists see patients of all ages in practice, but for the youngest patients recognizing signs and symptoms of developmental delays can change lives. Even if you do not treat children in your practice, you encounter adults who care for children. Recognizing signs and symptoms in the pediatric patients of delays and to whom and where to refer can enable children to reach their full potential. 

Learn to:

• discover the characteristics of children who would be at most risk for developmental delays
• explore essential components of communication and early motor skills that could signify an issue
• differentiate healthcare specialties that could be appropriate for patient referrals
• identify oral health risks associated with communication and motor delays along with oral healthcare products to assist
