Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. Pediatric dentists are trained to handle the unique dental needs of young patients, including the management of dental growth and development, prevention of cavities, and treatment of dental issues specific to children. These dental professionals create a friendly and comfortable environment to help children feel at ease during their visits. They also educate parents about proper dental care practices, such as brushing, flossing, and the importance of regular dental check-ups to promote lifelong oral health.
