Contents Pragmatic dental knowledge, which often is reduced to a surgical practice, when facing the world of children, needs a deep comprehension of those childhood behaviors in order to get the best collaboration to achieve suitable dental treatment.
Great importance is given to a proper way of receiving parents in the operative unit in order to know possible socio-educational criticalities, and styles of life, therefore making it easier to show prevention strategies.
It is necessary to take care of several educational aspects such as relationship with parents, health education, correct styles of life and food habits. Reflections are very meaningful on the politics of welfare for a proper integration among area-heathcare-social policy- educational policy.

Extended program The few clinical criticalities in managing the odontostomatological illnesses of childhood-adolescence have some aspects which involve the experiential and emotional side of children. To deal in an effective way with these aspects you need specific pedagogical and psychological competences. The difficulty in managing a number of patients in evolutionary age, very young or with special needs, represents a further and more difficult step in the ordinary clinical practice. The Ministero della Salute, through new guidelines, gives great importance to these difficulties, in terms of adopting precocious and well-planned strategies to prevent oral illnesses.
In other words, pragmatic dental knowledge, which often is reduced to a surgical practice, when facing the world of children, needs a deep comprehension of those childhood behaviors in order to get the best collaboration to achieve suitable dental treatment.
Great importance is given to a proper way of receiving parents in the operative unit in order to know possible socio-educational criticalities, and styles of life, therefore making it easier to show prevention strategies.
It is necessary to take care of several educational aspects such as relationship with parents, health education, correct styles of life and food habits. Reflections are very meaningful on the politics of welfare for a proper integration among area-heathcare-social policy- educational policy.
