Pedodontics (Pediatric Dentistry)

Pedodontics, or pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on maintaining and treating the oral health of children. Dentists specializing in this field monitor children’s teeth according to their developmental stages, take preventive measures, and provide treatment when necessary.

Pedodontists examine children’s dental health and detect dental problems during check-ups. During these examinations, pedodontists examine children’s teeth, gums, and oral and jaw structures. When they identify dental health issues in children, pedodontists select and apply appropriate treatment methods. Pedodontists receive training covering all aspects of children’s dental health and specialize in children’s dental health.

Regular visits to pediatric dentists are important to ensure the healthy development of baby teeth and permanent teeth. Additionally, it is important to instill regular tooth brushing habits, promote healthy eating habits, and reduce fear of dentists in children.

Pediatric dentists provide treatment with a gentle and child-friendly approach, taking into account the special needs of children. This helps children maintain a healthy oral and dental structure throughout their lives.
