SOLOMON N. ROSENSTEIN, B.S., D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry Director, Division of Pedodontics PEDODONTICS With the aid of dedicated research workers in a variety of biological disciplines, pediatrics has con- tributed greatly to reduction of infant mortality and extension of the life span through application of pre- ventive measures . What the pediatrician has accom- plished for medicine, the pedodontist can accomplish for dentistry. The dentist who provides care for children is in a most favorable position to apply pre- ventive findings and procedures to prevent dental disease and other oral disorders in an age group which will benefit most. Auxiliary personnel can enhance the dentist ' s effectiveness in promoting this effort by meeting with large groups of children in schools to teach the proper home care procedures. Prevention must be a major motivating factor in our professional thinking and practice and measures to ac- complish its purpose must be incorporated into our everyday treatment planning for each child. Parents must also be made aware of the need for their coopera- tion. These measures, complemented by community- wide measures such as fluoridation, will set our young patients in the right direction with assurance that their dentitions will remain intact and normal through- out life. Through such accomplishment, too, will your professional satisfaction be greater. Solomon N. Rosenstein Bernard Nathanson D.D.S. Arnold Rosenberg D.D.S. Julian Schroff D.D.S. William A. Verlin D.D.S.
