Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health problems in children.
Pediatric dentists have specific training that qualifies them to provide care for children’s teeth and gums as they change throughout childhood.
Pediatric dentists provide comprehensive care, from preventative treatment like cleanings and sealants to treatment for oral disease and injuries. A pediatric dentist will also counsel parents about a child’s nutritional and hygienic habits.
