Pediatric dentistry, also known as pedodontics, is a branch of dentistry that specializes in the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence.

Pediatric dentists are equipped to handle the unique dental needs of children, including the management of dental and oral health problems that are specific to children. Some of the common dental issues that a pediatric dentist may treat include:

Early tooth loss: If a child loses a tooth prematurely, a pediatric dentist can provide solutions to prevent further dental problems and ensure proper development of the remaining teeth.

Dental anxiety: Pediatric dentists are trained to manage children's dental anxiety and provide a comfortable and supportive environment for children during dental procedures.

Pediatric dentists also provide preventative dental care services such as regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. They may also provide advice on proper dental care for children and their parents.
