Pediatricians and family physicians can play a significant role in the initiation of dental care for preschool children because they are seen more often by a physician than a dentist. The Committee on Standards for Child Health Care of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends inspection of the mouth, teeth, and gums at every pediatric visit. This article describes the oral tissues in health and in disease as well as the role physicians can play in preventive dental care.
