Dentistry for Children

Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty focused on the oral health of children, from infancy through the teenage years. Also known as children’s dentistry, this field provides age-specific care to support healthy development of teeth and gums.

One of the most important aspects of pediatric dental care is conducting dental checkups early in a child’s life. These early evaluations can help detect potential issues before they become serious, helping to avoid long-term damage to a child’s teeth.

Pediatric dental services are essential for all children, including babies, young kids, and teens. The type of care provided is tailored to the child’s age and specific needs.

During treatment, pediatric dentists may carry out a range of procedures, such as:

  • Fillings
  • Tooth extractions
  • Dental crowns
  • Pulp therapy (children’s root canals)
  • Dental X-rays
  • Application of sealants
