Abstract
This paper demonstrates how the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry (IAPD) arose from small beginnings in 1967. What started as an International Forum on Child Dental Health in London grew to become first the International Association of Dentistry for Children and then the outstanding IAPD with biennial Congresses, regional meetings, cooperation with other children's organizations, Teach the Teachers programmes, a wonderful website, and this International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry. There are now 70 national member societies worldwide repre-senting over 16 000 members with a single interest: to further the oral health care of children. It is a truly remarkable achievement.KEYWORDShistory, organized dentistry, paediatric dentistry
