- Abstract
Patient-centered care (PCC) respects the individual and interacting contributions of the patient, family, community and environment to disease manifestation and health maintenance. This paper gives an overview of PCC in general health care, explains PCC aspects already in play in the prevention and treatment children receive from pediatric dentists and serves as a primer for general dental practitioners to incorporate PCC principles into their care of children.
