Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health and dental care of children from infancy through adolescence. This field is dedicated to addressing the unique dental needs and challenges of young patients, including preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and treatment of various conditions. Pediatric dentists are trained to handle the behavioral aspects of children, making visits to the dentist more comfortable and less intimidating. They provide services such as fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques. The goal of pediatric dentistry is to establish a foundation of healthy dental practices that will last a lifetime.
