Paediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry is a specialised area of dentistry that focuses on the dental care of infants, children and adolescents. Its main objective is to promote oral health and prevent dental problems in young patients. Pediatric dentists are highly trained professionals in child treatment techniques, as well as being sensitive to children's needs and fears.

Paediatric dentistry is important because children's oral health has a direct impact on the overall health of children. Children with dental problems may have difficulties eating, speaking and concentrating at school. In addition, tooth decay can lead to painful infections that require immediate treatment. With pediatric dentistry, children can learn healthy oral care habits from an early age and develop a positive relationship with the dentist, making regular visits to the dentist easier and less stressful.

Common treatments in paediatric dentistry include regular cleaning, fluoride application, dental sealants, caries treatment and extraction of baby teeth. For children who need more extensive treatment, such as devitalisation, paediatric dentists will usually use conscious sedation to ensure the child is calm and comfortable during treatment.

Pediatric dentistry is an important part of children's oral health and helps children to maintain healthy and beautiful teeth throughout their lives. Therefore, it is vital that parents take their children to a specialist paediatric dentist regularly to ensure they receive the dental care they need.
