Pediatric dentistry, also known as kid's dentistry, is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from birth to adolescence. Pediatric dentists are dental professionals who have completed additional training and education in the care of children's teeth, gums, and oral development.

Pediatric dentists provide a range of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic dental services for children, including:

Cleanings and fluoride treatments to prevent tooth decay and gum disease

Dental exams and X-rays to diagnose and treat dental problems

Sealants to protect the teeth from cavities

Fillings to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay

Extractions to remove teeth that are damaged or infected

Orthodontic treatments to correct misaligned teeth or bite problems

Pediatric dentists are trained to work with children in a way that is gentle, caring, and non-threatening, and they are skilled at using techniques and equipment specifically designed for children's needs. They also provide education and guidance to parents on how to care for their child's teeth and gums at home. Regular dental visits are an important part of maintaining good oral health, and it is recommended that children see a pediatric dentist every six months for preventive care. Children should also see a dentist as soon as their first tooth appears or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. This allows the dentist to monitor the child's oral development and identify any potential problems early on.
