Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric dentists are trained to manage and treat children’s developing teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as handle the unique challenges associated with child behavior, growth, and development. This field emphasizes preventive care, including education on proper brushing and flossing techniques, diet counseling, and fluoride treatments. Pediatric dentists also provide treatments for dental issues such as cavities, gum diseases, and dental injuries. Their goal is to ensure children maintain healthy smiles and establish good oral hygiene habits for life.
