Pediatric dentistry, that is to say, pedodontics as it is called in the literature, is the dental practice of children in the 0-13 age group. The treatment of permanent and milk teeth of children within this age group is conducted by a pediatric dentist.
The direction of dental health in children may change very fast. You can keep your child’s dental health under control with regular dental examinations to be made every six months. In these controls, all dental and gum problems such as the general condition of the teeth, bad breath, possible gum diseases are examined.
The examinations and treatments of children are slightly different from adults. Pediatric dentists communicate with children much better, relax them and perform their treatments. In this way, your child will refer to the dentist for oral and dental health treatments more comfortably and safely in the future.
