Pedodontics (Child Dentistry)

Pedodontics (Child Dentistry)

Pediatric Dentistry is an important field of health that focuses on the protection and development of children's dental and oral health.

Dentists working in this field specialize in understanding the special needs of children and young people from infancy to adolescence and providing treatment appropriate to these needs.

The main purpose of pediatric dentistry is to instill healthy dental and oral care habits from an early age and to prevent possible dental problems. This approach protects children from tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems.

Pediatric dentists take into account the stages of children's dental development and use various methods to make them comfortable and overcome their fear of the dentist.

They also support families with the necessary information and guidance to protect their children's oral health. Pediatric dentistry includes both therapeutic and preventive approaches and offers comprehensive care to ensure children have a healthy smile.
