Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. It deals with preventive methods such as fluoride treatments and sealants to help keep their teeth healthy. They also provide restorative treatment, such as fillings, to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. Additionally, guidance for parents on proper oral hygiene techniques and nutrition for their children are also undertaken.
Some other conditions such as teething pain, improper bite, and crowded teeth are also treated and taken care of. By providing the best possible dental care for children, pediatric dentists help ensure that they have healthy teeth and gums and can enjoy a lifetime of good oral health.
