Pediatric / Child Dentistry​

Pediatric dentistry is a special branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health care of children from infancy through adolescence. It is essential for children to receive the proper dental care and education in order to maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives. Pediatric dentists are trained to provide comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and those with special healthcare needs. They focus on preventive measures such as nutrition counseling, daily brushing/flossing instructions, topical fluoride applications, sealants, and regular check-ups. In addition to providing routine dental care, pediatric dentists also specialize in diagnosing and treating various conditions affecting the teeth, jaws and mouth such as cavities, gum disease, misaligned teeth or jaw pain.
