Background:Dental caries is a multifactorial microbial infectious disease characterized by demineralization of the inorganic and destruction of the organic substance of the tooth. Early Childhood Caries(ECC) affects children at the early stages of development and can have a detrimental effect on their growth and development. Pediatricians are the first healthcare personnel that children come in contact with and should be trained to identify and screen dental caries cases and refer to the concerned dentist at the earliest.
