Pediatric Dentistry

What is Pediatric Dentistry ?

Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that takes care of children's oral health from birth to adolescence. Pediatric dentists are specialists trained to deal with children's dental development and to treat the specific needs of this age group, ensuring that they have a positive and fear-free experience at the dental office.

Children's first teeth, although they are replaced by permanent ones from the age of 6, must be treated and preserved because they play an important role in the development of the facial bones and in preserving space for the permanent teeth, in order to prevent a reduction in the dental arch and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint. They are also very important for the correct development of speech and for chewing food.

Pediatric dentistry also has a preventive aspect, and children should go for their first appointment when their first tooth is born so that the mother can receive important information about the baby's oral hygiene.
