What Is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the health and well-being of children, from infancy through adolescence. It involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental problems in children, as well as the education of parents and caregivers on good oral health practices. Dental problems in children may be caused by poor diet, lack of access to dental care, and other factors. The goal of pediatric dentistry is to provide the best care for the child without regard to financial or insurance status. In most dental practices, pediatric dentists and family dentists are the only ones who specialize in treating children.
