Abstract
Have you ever wondered if children coming into your dental operatory these days really are fatter, or is it just your imagination? And if they are fatter, how does it relate to what they are eating and what is the approach to treatment? This review article is written for dental health professionals, their own children, and their young patients and families, and will briefly address these issues.Keywords
