Pedodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the dental health of children and offers dental treatment and preventive care from infancy to adolescence. This field monitors children's dental development, treats dental caries and teaches healthy oral habits. Pedodontics provides comprehensive care for children from the teething period until the eruption of permanent teeth.
Pedodontic practices include:
Monitoring Dental Development: It monitors the development of children's teeth and jaw structure and detects any abnormalities at an early stage.
Treating Dental Caries: It treats common dental caries in children and protects dental health. These treatment processes are specially designed for children and are usually less invasive and relaxing.
Preventive Care: Teaches children methods to maintain dental health, such as proper brushing techniques and dietary habits. It also uses fluoride applications and tooth protectors to prevent tooth decay.
Making the Dentist Experience Positive: It makes children's visits to the dentist less of a frightening experience. It offers a relaxing environment and gives children a positive approach to dentistry.
Pedodontics protects children's dental health while supporting their overall oral health and making their dental experience a positive one. This ensures that healthy dental habits are developed at an early age and dental health is maintained in the future.
