Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are presenting to the dental surgery in increasing numbers.

It then goes on to make suggestions that may assist the dental practitioner in successfully treating such clients. Key words: ADHD, attention deficit, behaviour, paediatric dentistry
