Abstract
The concept of thinking outside the box is no longer valid, we now need to create a new box. The volumes of research showing the merging of medicine and dentistry is growing rapidly and those who fail to grasp its importance will be left behind. Our primary goal in caring for newborn infants and babies should be to allow them to grow and develop to their maximum potential. It’s time for the old, outdated conservative ideas, to be shed and have the Dental and Medical community understand that the separation of medicine and dentistry is rapidly disappearing.
