This module amalgamates and develops the theoretical and operative skills taught in the paediatric module with clinical treatment and management sessions of children at Bristol Dental Hospital and in outreach clinics.
Paediatric dentistry is concerned with the promotion and maintenance of oral health for children. In paediatric dentistry student dental hygenists should care for a number of children in order to assess the efficacy of preventative measures and their behaviour management.
