About Pediatric Dentistry Services
Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. The specialty of pediatric dentistry is recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
Unlike general dentistry, Pedodontics – Child Specialist takes care and monitors children’s teeth, mainly because baby teeth directly influence the final teeth. Therefore, children’s dentistry makes sure that those problems with baby teeth are solved before permanent teeth appear. In this way, the infant will not present severe damage to their teeth.
