Pedodontics – Treat Them Young

The childhood is a very important stage of life. The physical and mental growth and development of any individual is determined by the health and well-being in the childhood years. The overall health of any person has a huge dependance on oral health.

Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry is a dedicated branch of dentistry which deals with the prevention and treatment of dental diseases in children and adolescents. The deciduous (milk) teeth are as important as permanent teeth as it paves the way for healthy and correct spatial eruption and development of permanent teeth. If the deciduous dentition is infected, the same may happen to the permanent dentition; necessitating lengthy and costly dental treatments from a very early age.

Prevention is better than cure. The thumb rule is to go for dental check ups from a certified pediatric dentist twice a year since the age of eruption of the first tooth in oral cavity. This helps in catching early developing dental caries (decay) and its treatment. The pediatric dentist will also guide you regarding diet and nutrition of the child as well as preventive treatments such as fluoride-based decay prevention and interceptive orthodontics-based prevention of a developing malocclusion.

The pediatric dentists are trained and qualified to provide the entire range of dental treatments such as dental fillings, root canal treatments and crowns, space maintainers, scaling and prophylaxis and surgical treatments to children having ages ranging from 6 months to 16 years. They are specially trained to handle children having anxiety and fears of dental treatments which make it impossible for general dentist to be able to render any dental treatment to this child.
