Standalone Interactive Exercise: Pediatric Dental Visit

About the activity

The patient arrived early and you have completed your exam, prophy and flouride treatment. You look at the clock and realize you have a little time until your next patient and decide to spend some additional time discussing one or more of the options below.

Each activity is estimated to take a certain amount of time, but just like in real practice, things don't always go as planned. Select how you would use your remaining time.

About Multidisciplinary Approaches to Children’s Oral Health (MATCH)

There are a variety of healing and helping professions that, when partnered with pediatric dentists, hold tremendous potential to improve children’s oral health and welfare.

Since many factors contribute to good oral health in children—social, behavioral, genetic, nutritional, dental care, and education, engaging experts in these various fields can both help reduce disease occurrence and improve quality of care.

These modules are developed with support from the Health Resources and Services Administration Title VII Training Grant D88HP20109 on Building a sustainable network of pediatric dentists committed to care of underserved children. In recognition of this, faculty at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and the Columbia University Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) have developed these comprehensive online modules which aim to:

Highlight non-dental professions that can impact children’s oral health Suggest ways pediatric dentists can partner with them most effectively to enhance practice success Present examples of successful pediatric dentists who enhance their patient care through partnerships with these professions
