Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. Pediatric dentists are specially trained to care for kids’ teeth, gums, and mouths as they grow and develop. They provide services like cleaning teeth, filling cavities, and helping with problems such as crooked teeth or thumb-sucking. They also teach children the importance of brushing and flossing to prevent tooth decay and other issues. Since children’s teeth and jaws are still developing, pediatric dentists make sure everything is growing properly and address any concerns early. They work to make visits to the dentist fun and stress-free, so kids feel comfortable and learn good habits for maintaining healthy teeth for life.
