During infancy and preschool age, movement is an integral part of human life. This book
discusses the correlation between cognitive and motor functioning in preschoolers, as well as
the motor performance differences between boys and girls. Additionally, oral health problems
affect children's quality of life by impairing their physical and psychological and social
functioning well-being. The main oral health related problem in preschool children is
associated with dental pain that may affect sleep, cause difficulty in eating and affect
learning. This book explores how the mouth affects quality of life and the epidemiology of
dental pain including the determinants of oral diseases. In addition, the authors review
strategies to promote oral health in preschool children. Other chapters show methods and
techniques used for evaluation of lung function status in preschool children. Those techniques
are commonly used in preschool age and make possible not only to help in diagnosis, but also
in controlling and monitoring the disease progress or efficacy of the treatment.
