DESCRIPTION

Pedodontics, also known as pediatric dentistry, focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence. It involves preventive care, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, to maintain strong, healthy teeth. Pedodontists are trained to manage children’s behavior during treatments, using a friendly approach to reduce anxiety and ensure a positive experience. They address a range of issues, from cavity fillings and cleaning to handling dental growth concerns. Pedodontics also emphasizes educating children and parents on good oral hygiene practices. Specialized care is often provided for children with special needs. The goal is to build a foundation for lifelong dental health.
