Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with infants and children through adolescence. Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty. It provides preventive as well as therapeutic dental care for infants and adolescents. Pediatric dentists are trained to carry out infant examination and also to provide the important information regarding infant oral care. Those children who have regular dental visits from infancy remain decay free throughout their lifetime. The best time for a child’s first visit to dental clinic is ideally 9 to 12 months of age.
Pediatric dentists provide children and their guardians with
informative instructions regarding prevention of dental decay and oral hygiene thereby helping
them to maintain a smooth transition from milk teeth to permanent set of teeth
