Nutrition information is an important element of the initial patient encounter, especially at the age one dental visit. Since Pediatric dentists are the experts of the oral cavity/development it is imperative that we have a good understanding of how oral motor development impacts the acquisition of feeding skills in infants.
Learning Objectives:
Gain an understanding of progression of oral sensory-motor skills necessary for transitioning from bottle/breast feeding to table foods.
Gain an understanding of the factors that influence the development of these feeding skills and the resulting feeding problems.
Role of Pediatric Dentists in supporting Oro-facial development for optimal feeding skill development.
