What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is a specialist field devoted to the care, prevention and treatment of children's primary and permanent teeth, from infancy to adolescence. In this field, in addition to clinical skill, the way of communicating with the child and putting them at ease is especially important, so that a visit to the dentist becomes a pleasant memory rather than a lasting fear.

Key pediatric dentistry services

• Fluoride therapy: strengthening the tooth enamel and preventing decay.

• Fissure sealants: sealing the grooves of the molars to prevent plaque build-up.

• Restoration and treatment of baby teeth: preserving the primary tooth until the permanent tooth erupts.

• Oral hygiene education: guiding the child and parents in correct brushing and flossing.
