Pediatric Dentistry in Latin America: Celebrating Achievements and Challenging Stereotypes

Abstract

The following text recognizes the importance of our specialty, and raises concern about the risk of infantilizing our practice when working with children: we are a scientific profession that must be practiced based on high standards of professionalism, avoiding acting like children just because they are our material subject study. This, without forgetting that we must adapt to the process of growth and bio-psycho-social development of our patients.
