Abstract

In 1972 I completed my dental school training and the new high technology we were learning centered around learning to do sit down dentistry. The science of light energy was in its infancy, we were just beginning to use light to set up composite fillings and prosthetic dentistry was the real art for making perfect crowns and dentures. Little was taught about how the professions of dentistry and medicine would begin a slow journey to work together for our pediatric patients care. During my pediatric residency at the Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, I was introduced to the idea that the medical and dental residents could work hand and hand together to help our pediatric patients [1-8]
