Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence, including those with special health care needs. It emphasizes the importance of preventive care, education, and early intervention to ensure optimal dental health as children grow.
Pediatric dentists are trained not only in the dental treatment of children but also in creating a comfortable and welcoming environment to alleviate any fears and anxieties.
Tips for Children’s Oral Health
- Begin oral care early: Clean your baby’s gums with a soft cloth even before the first tooth appears.
- Supervise brushing: Children should brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Supervise young children to ensure they use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and to prevent swallowing toothpaste.
- Encourage healthy eating habits: Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage fruits, vegetables, and water.
- Regular dental visits: Ensure your child sees the pediatric dentist every six months for preventive check-ups and cleanings.
- Protect their teeth: For children involved in sports, use mouthguards to prevent dental injuries.
