Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health care of children from infancy through adolescence, providing essential services to ensure the development of healthy teeth and gums. These treatments are required to address unique dental issues that children face, such as teething, cavities, misalignment, and thumb-sucking. The procedure typically begins with an initial check-up to monitor the growth and development of teeth, followed by preventive care like cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect against decay. Pediatric dentists also offer guidance on oral hygiene practices and diet to instill good habits early.
