Abstract

The changing problems of the developing child are considered in relation to the action and advice which should be given by the dentist to the child and his parent. Seven stages are distinguished in the dental development of the individual and guidance and techniques appropriate to each stage, based on recent evidence are tabulated. The hazards to oral health which may result from orthodontic treatment are discussed and methods of avoiding or minimizing these effects are summarized in four simple rules.
