Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years.
We recommend a child’s first dental visit around 6 months of age. Early visits, especially when children accompany family members, help them become familiar with the dental environment and reduce anxiety about treatment. Milk teeth are very important, as they help children chew properly, support clear phonetics and maintain adequate space for the eruption of permanent teeth.
Pediatric dental care includes routine checkups, professional cleaning, fillings, and early orthodontic evaluations. It also involves behavior guidance, habit-breaking therapies for thumb sucking or lip biting, and preventive treatments such as fluoride applications to protect against tooth decay.
