Diploma of Pediatric Dentistry (Online)
Dentistry professionals need to have a good understanding of the field of paediatric dentistry, since the preservation and good health of primary teeth is essential in order to favour the physiological change to a complete set of permanent teeth without complications or diseases. Primary teeth are important, as they are necessary for children to chew and for cosmetic reasons. They need to keep the space for the permanent teeth to come through and assist in jaw development and vocalisation.
Course objectives
