Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with the dental issues of children from birth through adolescence. “Prevention is better than cure” and proper care of your child’s teeth from a very early age will help them to have healthy gums and teeth. It is very important to take good care of your child’s teeth. Parents have to inculcate good oral care habits in children to prevent tooth decay. Early dental check-ups for kids will ensure their mouths to be healthier and cavity free.
Bad habits in children like thumb sucking, nail & lip biting, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing etc. can be controlled and prevented by proper guidance, training and counselling by a Pediatric expert. Also, other dental issues in children like dental cavities, Pediatric root canal and other such specialized treatments are also carried out by the pedodontist (Pediatric dentist).
