Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry focuses on the dental health of children from infancy through adolescence. It includes preventive, therapeutic, and educational dental care tailored to the unique needs of growing kids.

Why is it done?

  • To prevent and treat cavities, gum issues, and habits like thumb-sucking

  • To ensure proper oral hygiene from an early age

  • To help children build a positive and fear-free attitude towards dental visits

Who needs it?

  • Infants, toddlers, and school-aged children

  • Kids with early childhood cavities or dental trauma

  • Children needing orthodontic screening or fluoride application

  • Anxious young patients needing a gentle, child-friendly approach

Benefits:

  • Promotes lifelong healthy dental habits
