delivers a whole philosophy of integrative patient care. Richly illustrated and in full colour throughout, the Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry is written in a friendly ‘how to’ manner
and contains useful ‘pull out’ boxes to act as useful aide-mémoires. Exploring a variety of topics, the book includes discussion of child development, practical communication skills and

and pathology, dental anomalies, and the treatment of medically compromised children. Chapters also explore the use of orthodontics, the management of cleft lip and palate and speech,
language and swallowing. The Handbook of Paediatric Dentistry has become an essential chairside and bedside companion for all practitioners caring for children and is suitable for
