Children are not just miniature adults, and as such, their oral health care and treatment should be provided by a specialized dentist.

Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of oral conditions in children.

The techniques, approach, and materials used in pediatric dentistry are very different from those applied to adults.

A child’s first dental visit (which can be scheduled around the eruption of the first tooth) is crucial, as it helps establish a relationship between the dentist, the child, and their family. This visit provides parents and caregivers with guidance on preventive care and oral health habits from an early age.

Primary (baby) teeth play a vital role, not only in the health and well-being of the child but also in ensuring the proper development of permanent teeth in the future.
